I know there was another buyer who encountered rust before use. As did I. Just got it and it's rusted. Anyone else?

I haven't had rust on mine. I have had problems with some sort of black grease rolling out onto my fondant. Could have been a nice rolling pin if that hadn't happened.

So far no. I haven't had mine too long though--2 or 3 months. Hope it doesn't rust.

Yes, I have mine for less then 3 months and my hardware is rusting! No take into consideration I live on the beach but wtf .. That being said it was the least expensive one I could find and maintain the hardware

Jeff, I've had this for about three years now and I don't remember. But, that comment and question, "What's up with the rust?" That's not a joke. By the end of the 1st year, we began to see it. Maybe there is a way to deal with that, but I haven't discovered it. Honestly, who expects stainless steel to rust?

I bought mine on Amazon early last year and mine is rusted in all the joints and feet. I posted pictures on my review.

I've never had a problem with rusting. But...I wash my knife immediately after use, dry it and put it away.

I have had mine a while and it hasn't rusted yet. I have very hard water too, idk how that contributes to rust if any.

I'm not sure why you're assuming it rusts? Did another review say that? I haven't had any trouble with mine so far. As far as the France/China thing goes, I really don't have any additional insight for you on that issue. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Well, you don't see the rust... I have had mine several years and been very happy with it. It was left outside in the summer months so the dogs always had a place to lay when they were outside. It showed no signs of rust. Then I went to replace the cover this year and the threads of the screws are all rusted in place. Try as I might, I cannot get them out and think I will have to buy a new one. So I would recommend putting some anti-seize on the screws to prevent rust.

I have not seen any rust. I also hand wash mine though and they are not used very often so maybe someone who uses it a lot would have better insight.

I have not had mine that long so no rust - BUT, my sister has had one for a long time and NO rust. Maybe it is your water?? We love this product.

I believe it is. Mine has been out since the fall and I don't see any signs of rust yet.

I bring mine in during the winter months. It was outside for 1 summer and now has a different appearance than when I first bought it. Its more of a dirty rust now. Can't imagine what a winter would do to it. I live in WI. and we have some pretty harsh winters. I guess it's your call!

Ours is rust. It looks really nice. Have received many compliments on the color.

It is all aluminum so it want rust. I have left ours outside many a night by accident and it is still like new. It is easy to move so I try to remember to bring it in. Even though it is built extremely well and it aluminum I would still recommend bringing it in when not in use. It only makes common sense that less anything is out in the elements the longer it will last.
