We have owned them for about a year and they have not faded and the finish has not worn off. Absolutely love them.

I bought these for my daughter for Christmas. She reports no issues and they seem fine.

I have only had it for about a year now, but I haven't had any issue with the finish on any area of the sink.

We have had ours for over 2 years. Last year it definitely started to fade. We will be buying another.

Yes, you need to maintain the finish with teak oil maybe once a year, otherwise it will "weather" as it should to a light gray patina.

It doesn't rust, but the color/shine did fade a bit. I have had mine for over a year

It went away fairly quickly. I have had mine for a few years and they still look brand new

Have used mine for two months and see no problem. Sometimes salt water or areas near salt water can effect metal finishes.

The fabric is a matte finish, and while it is very dark, I made a bike cover that was out in the sunshine all the time, and it did fade noticeably after one year. If you are using it inside, you may not have the problem. Even with the fading, it is still very strong, not deteriorating at all, and it has now been almost 3 years.

It does not rust, but from wear on the underneath side of the metal it does not appear to be solid copper, finish rubbed off exposing a pewter color only where it meets the bottom plastic. Wear not visible when assembled and no rust after 3 years of use.

Ours also suffered erosion of the finish after just a couple of years. I'm pretty sure it went through the dishwasher a few times, but not any more. No way to know if that was the cause. We are considering replacing it and I would not DW it again.

No, it does not wear off as it is impregnated into the metal. My husband has not had that problem with it. It is holding up very well.

I've had the brushed nickel finish for close to a year. I just cleaned the rust from mine, but the rust is due to the rusting of my shower curtain rod. My family also takes very hot showers!

We applied a teak / marine wood sealer to it. Has been in our shower for about 2 months. No sign of fading at all.

Ours has been outdoors for a few years but it is underneath an overhang of our house. It faces east so it gets a lot of sun and has gotten wet occasionally with storms and fog. So far, the finish has held up beautifully and it looks just like the day we got it.

I've had mine for almost 2 years. No problem. Don't see why there'd be any flaking - there's nothing that would scraoe or scratch it.

No. I have had one of these for about 4 years now and while it is a bit scratched up it is still the exact same color as when I got it. (Not including the colored edge part which has faded a bit after 4 years.)

Mine have been on for 7 months including a steamy bathroom, and no rust or discoloration so far. They look great!
