I want to install this in a shower to bathe my dogs. Are all the parts stainless steel? Any parts not water proof? Anything that will rust? Thanks for the responses - I think I will look into shower benches that are made for being in the shower.

It has a 1/2" wooden core (plywood) - so that will rot over time. You can probably use it for up to about 35 lbs but much over that and I'm afraid it may not hold the weight. It is a lovely piece and very functional.

The shower rod is in one piece however the ends require assemblying a couple pieces to facilitate the swinging action that is one of the rod features. My wife loves it and the Amazon price was great. One thing I woudl reccommend is check all the parts first thing and if you are missing something contact the manufacturer right away. They were prompt and very friendly to deal with. It is stainless steel and we have not seen any signs of rust.

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 only had mine a few months and so far, so good. There are not many "rustable" parts...the soap tray, etc. But it is in really good shape still.

Thank you for your inquiry. I apologize, but I don't quite understand your question. Why would you want to put a stainless steel rack in the dishwasher to rust? Please clarify so we can assist you further.

I think so....I've had it for the past few months, it's seen about 3 showers a day, and not a spot of rust. I'm very happy with it. I was initially hesitant because of the price, but am now very glad that if bought it.

According to Amazon's product description, it has a "stainless steel FINISH". Amazon's descriptions occasionally have mistakes, so maybe it is 100% stainless steel. I won't buy it until I find out for sure, as it's current price is very high. I too would like to find a good shower caddy that is 100% stainless steel, as a stainless steel "finish" or "coating" does not fully prevent rust.

I'd say it's safe to put in the shower, but not directly in the path of the water. It handles the steam just fine. I think thst what it means by "weather proof."

It adjusts to the size of your bath, within the parameters given. Looks to be stainless, but may be bonded. Has held up well in our master bath- we move it back and forth at least 4 times a day. Have not experienced any rusting, but as with any installation take care not to scratch the surfaces while putting it up. Side note: The handle used to move the bar back and forth is plastic. Pulling hard on that could cause a breakage of that piece.

I don't know exactly but here is how you can determine if you can use it in the shower.1.) Is it sealed from water? Answer I don't know I will have to look on the instructions but I suspect it is not.2.) Is its blades made of stainless steel and will not rust? This model is made with stainless steel blades so water will not rust them so this is good.I personally don't like to do everything in the shower like shaving or trimming as I think it is a waste of water and not easy to use a mirror and doing a great job. Based on how all of the attachments are used and the fact that trimming beard and mustaches dry would be a preferred method I don't think any trimmer will do well in a shower.

It is all stainless steel, but since it is already installed I can't see any labeling as to grade. I typically by Grohe, so I know quality when I see it. I would say this shower head is of high quality. I will tell you, everyone comments on this shower head. We have in the Guest bath and my adult son said the water flow was exceptional. I did need the extended pipe for my area. This is one of my best purchases.

I really can't speak to the rust issue as this rod is located in a bathroom that gets very few showers a year. However, this bathroom is used often so moisture is present, just not as high as in a location where the tub was being operated on a daily basis. It is a beautiful rod even today and we have been extremely happy with it so far. The bathroom is small and this curve gave us just the right amount of additional space we had been looking for.

It is a fairly heavy duty plastic so it will not rust. Ours is inside, but I'm sure it would be fine outdoors. Be advised, it is huge! It's significantly larger than what I probably needed for my two 80# dogs. I cannot barely carry it after filled so if my husband is unavailable, I only fill it 1/2 and change their water more often. It is attractive looking though, as far as automatic waterers go.

We returned it it was too big for our petite Mom. This is a commode. Not a shower stool. Medical equipment makers also make a shower stool both with and with out backs. We also have a medical shower stool and have has it for 16 months in the shower a shower stool does not rust. This commode probably will. But you don't want to have feces and urine in the shower this is very unsanitary. You need both. You can get a shower stool with out back at CVS or similar for $24, or with back for like $35

My guess that it would rust eventually especially around the welds. The metal is coated but I do not think it would hold up to the constant splashing of water in a kitchen sink.

it is not stainless steel so it will rust. I haven't noticed much rust, but I don't leave it wet or outside so that it would rust. With normal common sense care, rust is not a problem. If you are asking about rust to determine if it is made of soft iron, it is not. It is definitely steel, but not high nickel or chrome steel Thus, it takes an edge nicely

These days many items are chrome plated plastic. Think of your car. This shower head and hose appear to be a mix of real and plated. Some pieces appear to be all metal, while others are most likely chrome plated. I am not an expert in these matters. I will say that we've had many different shower heads over the years and this one is the most exquisite. The hose doesn't kink ~ ever. Hygiene experts recommend that a person change these things every so many months or years... I don't remember how often they recommend changing, so I am considering purchasing a second one of these to save so when it's time to change, I'll be able to continue to shower in luxury. Then, of course, I may try that vinegar in a baggie over the head trick I read about. There's so much to know about daily life, like who would have guessed you're best to turn on your shower with real hot water and let some of the trapped water spray out before you get into the shower and breath the air of that stale water... Common Cold, any one?
