As literature on website says, this is not stainless steel but galvanized steel. Instructions say to prime it, paint it, touch it up after installation. Instructions best when one conducts an internet search and finds an actual drawing of how to the 2 pieces that circle the chimney go together--it is a bit of a puzzle at first sight. It took me about 1/2 a day to get old guy wires off, the new brace on. It is not difficult work, only work has to be done with intense care and attention because of being on a roof (I have a metal roof that is a 6:12 pitch with its own issues on getting there...quite beyond this review). It is firmly in place, painted per instructions, holds the chimney in place, and looks terrific. Don't lose the bolts, the nuts!

First, they should fix the description as this is not stainless.
I bought this to replace a like unit that had corroded into brown dirt after more than 20 years of seattle rain. Old unit was difficult to get apart as the hardware had corroded solid. The old design used set screws to lock the support poles to correct length. This new unit has end of outer pipe cut and is clamped to inner pipe with a hose clamp, is much more secure.
The ring assembly is really well designed, lovely actually. Assemble the ring on the ground, leave the supports separate. The bolts that will hold the supports are actually captive inside the ring. Tricky to thread together when you're on the roof so just do it on the ground.
All done up the brace is quite solid. Good piece.
For a bit more corrosion protection I lightly sanded mine, cleaned with alcohol, then gave it a quick single coat of zinc spray paint. I also fingered heavy grease all over the hardware once all was tight.

This brace is a great utility piece and is needed to make sure the exterior stove pipe is properly supported. One bit of advice, if installing the bottom brackett to a metal roof, wood blocking maybe required underneath and a piece of self-sealing EPDM should be used between the bracket base and the metal roofing to insure against leaks at the screw holes even if caulk them
