They replaced my rim and I still see rust forming anywhere on the rim that's exposed, and I have not scratch the rim, so it's just poor quality rim, the backboard is excellent

Until they use a stainless steel rim there will always be a rust issue. I found a stainless steel rim made by Dunnrite on another site and replaced my rim. Dunnrite makes other models of basketball hoops for pools that have the stainless steel rim and cost more.

It is not showing any signs of rust yet. It is still less than a year old though.

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

Hi Candy, I am not sure if the warranty covers rust, but I haven't had any rusting over the past three years. Its worth the money.

I've had mine for two months and no sign of rust and no problems yet (and I use it multiple times every day).

The only rust I've found is the washers on wheels. We've left it out since dec and it stil looks new

Using for about 8 months and no signs of rust. I had a similar unit for several years and it did show some signs of rust. I returned it to simplehuman and they gave me a brand new one, no questions asked.

I've had it for a little less than a year. It's been out in the rain and blazing heat and no rust yet!

Can't find the date that I bought mine, I think it's about 1 1/2 years old, no more than that. I have had to replace it because it's rusty. So, YES, stainless steel does rust. Frustrating, because other reviews said it doesn't rust and I believed them.

I have not had any problems with rust and I own 2 sets purchased at separate times.

Look elsewhere. Its not worth the trouble. Trust me. It was rusting after 6 months. I'll try to post a picture.

no, no problems of any kind, am very happy with it. have only had it for six or eight months though, which may not be long enough for rust to show up.

After a long time it did rust, however all you need to do is take a little bit of aluminum foil, wet and scrub the rust right off. It works perfectly and it looks brand new.

I've had mine since November 2013 and I have not seen any rust, I also haven't rolled over any puddles. So far so good.

I just received it in December so no rust issues thus far. But if you take one of the rusted screws to Home Depot they can match it. They have an elaborate in store measurement grid to match hardware.

Do not even hesitate on buying these. They are awesome. I purchased these not too long ago. I luv them. I also purchased them last year for a friend, no rust at all. Hope this helps.

I just got mine in August, and I'm directly on the beach. So far it's holding up, with no signs of rust.
