Dropped $150 on a fancy fire pit that rusted out after one winter
Bought this sleek stainless steel fire pit from a big box store last July and by March it was flaking orange rust all over my patio stones, anyone else had their outdoor gear fall apart way faster than it should have?

Bought a similar one from Home Depot last fall for $120 and by spring it was rusting at the welds. @kim_mason55 I used to think stainless steel was stainless steel but this totally changed my mind, cheap stainless is basically just coated junk. Now I make sure anything I leave outside has a real warranty or I just accept it's gonna fall apart in a year or two. That $150 pit taught me to read the fine print on alloy grades because apparently not all stainless is created equal out here.

Heard anything back from Home Depot's customer service about it?
