Will this rack rust over time?

It has a powder coat on it, so I think you're pretty safe. I wouldn't dry wet cups on it though, just to be safe.

I have had my two racks for a little over 3 months. As of the date of this response no rust has appeared.

It is pretty durable. I have had no problems with it chipping scratching or rusting

After about three years, I had multiple rust spots on mine. They were all small, but I didn't mistreat the rack and never had it in storage; I'm not sure why my experience was different from that of everyone else here. On the plus side, the rack was incredibly sturdy and useful, so I wasn't too troubled by the patches of rust.

I have been using mine for 2 years at pool side for wet towels, and inside for delicate clothes and have not had a problem with rust.

I have had mine for 5 months now, we use it regularly and have zero rust. I wash it out and let it air dry after every use.

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

The rack came with the pan and I have never had a problem with rust on either item.

I have only handwashed and rack dried my kettle, and it has no signs of rusting. I use it at least twice a week.

I've had mine for a year. It is used often and has been washed many times. No rust at all.

No hardware to rust. The wood dowels are inserted in the wood sides. I love this rack. I hang sheets, towels, clothes, everything on it. It is tall and wide. I like the dowels that make a flat area in the middle to lay sweaters and such on. If your wife likes drying racks, I'm sure she will like this one. It's as close as I could get to the antique type drying racks that I loved so much. This is why I got this rack. Hope this helps.

Not at all. I live on the salt marsh in Savannah. I purchased the shelving unit last fall. Assembled it in my garage where it has been since then and there is no sign of rust or any corroding. I love the portability and convenience and especially the price!!! I would recmend it to anyone!

Mine has not rusted, but it stays in my linen closet (away from moisture) most of the time and I don't put wet items in it.

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

I imagine so. I have this caddy since November 2012 and for sure there is NO RUST whatsoever! It's the best caddy.

The metal tubing parts of this rack are black powder coated, which is probably the most durable paint coating for steel parts. However, if steel is exposed to moisture by chipping or scratching through the coating, it will rust and the rust will work its way under any existing coating. There is a small chance of rusting, but this is as good as it gets without making the rack of aluminum (which can still corrode) or plastic tubing (which degrades over time with exposure to sunlight).

No. I've only had it for a few months, but I seriously doubt that it would rust.

I have had mine for more than a year, use it at least once daily, and have never had any problems with rust.

I've not had problems with rusting and Have had one of my three expandable shelves almost four years; but I use mine as extra shelving for clean dishes so the shelves are not exposed to dampness.
