what is this rod made of and will it rust or discolor in a shower?

rod is metal, ends are plastic. Unsure about rust issue-may be alright if no direct contact with water. I used in granddaughter's nursery-great for that-it is on the smaller size.

I believe so. I'm not certain if it would rust over time, but it should hold up well in the shower.

The rollers are non magnetic, so I think they will not rust. The actual shower hook is magnetic, so in theory, it can rust. But the finish should provide some corrosion resistance, so they should last at least a few years before it becomes noticeable. I've had mine for a few months and they still look new.

The main rod is one piece. It appears to be chrome plated steel. The end caps are plated plastic. I would expect many years of rust-free service unless it's used continuously in a wet damp climate. It's dry as popcorn here. Seems to be holding up well in a guest bath. Solid mount, the drywall anchors are large screw-in anchors but are meh as are all drywall anchors. I managed to catch a stud on one side and used a toggle on the other. I would recommend and would buy again. Good value.

No, we have had it in our main bath now for a year and it still looks fantastic. If there is any rust might be from shower curtain clips. They are usually cheaply made,

The rod and mounting hardware are heavy duty with a painted coating (maybe baked on) and could easily withstand a shower environment and it would look good, too. I used a hacksaw to cut it to the size I wanted and it was not too difficult to cut.

Steel. It'll rust if the paint chips. it's also thin walled tubing that slots together. maybe 1/16" thick wall.

No rust on mine and it's been up for a while. I also noticed that there is no mildew either. The plastic on this curtain is fairly thick and durable although entertainingly transparent.

I bought this shower shelf back in February or march, can't remember, but it looks as good as the day I bought it, not a spot of rust or wear on it

There is a little rust color on the top. I've had mine a little over a year and use the shower curtain hooks with the rollers on top. I'm pretty sure I can clean the rust color off. Great buy.

Hello Claudia, I have had this rack for about a year and am very happy with it, have not seen any rust yet and it hangs right outside my shower so I am sure it has gotten wet... Hope this helps! Helen

Sorry, no. Ours is used outside of the shower. I am never surprised when this type of article does rust tho. It's only coated wire and never does as well at the corner joins as in the middle of the wire lengths. Wondering if it's an enamel type coating if a light coating of car wax occasionally might help, as may be suggested by washer/dryer and wheelchair manuals.

I believe that it's fiberglass. I bought it for my 11 year old who loves it. It's a great rod for the price. Nothing fancy...

I agree with you you, but I do not know if this product is 18/10 stainless steel. The manufacturer describes it as aluminum and stainless and that it is rust resistant. I purchased the Adjustable Shower Caddy in May 2013 and have been very happy with the product. I did not want a chrome-type finish which tends to peel and rust more quickly, and spent a few dollars more for this product. I think it will look well for quite some time, but if I get five years without it becoming a "rust bucket" I will be happy. Please see my other reviews regarding attaching suction cup to wall.

The rod is stainless steel. No other finish applied. I guess some might call it a "nickel" finish look.
