The table has sat out all summer, lots of rain, no rust.....EXCEPT...the screen that you put over the fire to prevent sparks flying has rusted after we used it for a fire. The fire burned the paint off. Was thinking about spraying it with the spray paint for high heat. The table itself is very nice.

Highly resistant; mine has been outside for six months uncovered with no rust yet!

Not since this spring when first assembled. But would keep checking and have some good quality touch up paint handy. Plan on doing end of season maintenance. A great style and pit for the money. Like that fire box is higher off our wood deck than most other styles and a table top surface when not in use.

Mine is still PERFECT!!, and we live close to the ocean and have been using it since January!! I did put a clear coat of Rustoleum spray on it a couple months ago, but it didnt need it, just precautionary. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THIS FIRE TABLE

This smoker has been sitting in my backyard for one year, no rust. I live in arizona desert but we have our wet season twice a year. I did buy a cover for it when I got it and I keep it clean and covered when not in use. The outside front door is stainless steel, but like I said no rust to report anywhere on the unit.

I've had mine for about 5 or 6 months and it still looks fantastic. No rust at all.

Good morning, Judith. The fire pit is made of 100% steel with a copper finish. I hope you find this information helpful. Adreanna - Plow & Hearth Customer Service

I have only had it for a short time, but so far no. It's stainless steel so it shouldn't rust.

No rust. Other then where the coals sit. I used it all year. In the cold and heat. The quality is ok at best. It is a 5 year grill maybe 8. The metal is thin so when it goes it will go fast.

If you are not using the pit regularly, I would always move it out of the weather....it will stand up for a while, but nothing lasts forever. If you purchased the cover, that will certainly help keep the top in good shape...the key is to watch the legs...if they get any kind of rust, wire brush them and put a good paint like Rustoleum on them and they should last for years...even with the rain.

Hi Nancy. The grate inside the chimnea hasn't held up very well to the heat of the fires. It will eventually need to be replaced. I haven't covered up the chimnea, so I see some rust already forming after a few months of use on the exterior from the weather. I would definitely recommend getting a cover for it. It is a pretty sturdy and solid piece made of cast iron - looks great and is functional.

It's moderately durable and I have not had mine long enough to know if it rusts. I believe other reviewers have reported that it will rust.

Not rusted, since that is a function of iron-based products, but will develop a patina. I am choosing not to clean and polish my bowl, but allow it to darken and basically turn a dark brown to black with the exposure to air, heat, ashes, and tar in the wood i am burning. I want to fool the cooper thieves out there, too.

Not sure about rust. I have this in my basement guest bathroom so it doesn't get regular use. So far it's held up nicely though.

I have had my Toastess for 3 years and no rust. I use it daily several times a day.

I have 2 years on mine and it's not rusted and has never failed. This is a solid product.

I have had no issues with rust, I wash mine bin the dishwasher, have left it in the sink over night in water, accidentally, and it still looks great. I use it several times a month and have no complaints at all.

Mine stays outside and is holding up well. But only have had it for 6 mo. No corrosion or rust. I believe it comes with a 10 year guarantee against that.
