Very nice quality, not to thin, for sure GREAT VALUE for the money. These are the same size as the Sears OEM part (04004831A0) but are 1/3 the cost. Originals had a ceramic coating and only lasted for about 3 years. I am hoping these replacements last as long or longer since they are stainless and will not allow oil/moisture to get under the ceramic and corrode quickly. Time will tell. Either way, I will be happy with 2-3 years as these parts always rust out first.
Note: if you have a Kenmore 122.16538900 or 720-0679R (same model, just different model names) you will need to drill two holes in the back of each diffuser. Not hard but you will need a drill and bitset. I will try adding pictures to this item.

sturdy, strong, clean. I had to drill holes in the back for it to fit my grill. Easy to do and worth the price.

But that wasn't a huge problem. I had to drill 2 holes in the back of each for my Kenmore grill (it has two spikes that these slide onto) so that was a pain. I don't think its a huge deal, but check your grill if you don't want to be spending time in your work shop.
Still, good quality compared to the ceramic coated ones that rusted and broke within 2 year. I really noticed the improvement in evenness.

I bought these to replace the heat diffusers on my Kenmore side-by-side gas/charcoal grill. Description of this item lists it as direct OEM replacement. It is not. The shape is completely different and therefore the guide pegs on back of grill have nowhere to go. This causes the replacement part to be higher in the rear and pitch forward. I am assuming this will cause the back of the grill to be even hotter now have not used since replacing parts today. But since this product is the same as I found listed on the Sears website, I am not sure how much better I can do. Since the original pieces are rusted through I do not want to cook over them anymore, so I think I am stuck with these regardless. My grill is barely three years old and I use it 3-5 times a week, but OEM parts seem to be not around. My advice, spend the money on a Weber and know you have legitimate replacement parts if you plan on keeping your grill more than two or three seasons.

These are much cheaper than buying OEM. The original parts rusted and fell apart withing two years. I'm hoping these last a little longer. As there are no predrilled holes, I had to break out the drill and drill them myself. In all not terribly hard, but still a pain in the ass I didn't want to deal with.
