People, who made this purchase, please, tell me - does it get rusty?

Not sure. I store mine inside. The wire is coated so I think it would take a lot of weathering.

I have only owned this for a couple of months, but I see no signs of rust. My laundry area is a relatively sunless and easily dampish kind of environment so I think if rust was going to occur, it would. I also see no signs of the finish cracking or wearing and I expect it to continue to hold up well with a lot of use.

Purchased December 2011. We use it several times each week. We rinse or wash it and toss it in the drying rack to air dry. We haven't had any of the rust issues you are concerned about. If I can find a way to upload a picture of ours, I'll do that so you can see.

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've had it for several months now and use it regularly and no rust so far.. that was my fear as well, which is why i made sure i bought a stainless steel grater. So at this point, no rust at all :)

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.

I have had mine since March and so far have not had any rust problems. I am actually going to purchase another one for the shower in my guest bath. Hope this helps.

Dear friend, the material of this item is stainless steel. And pls don't worry. It won't become rusty. Thank you!

I've been using mine for about 9 months now, and no rust whatsoever. I would say the only drawback to this sink is the nature of stainless steel and watermarks. In my mind, it's still totally worth it.

I've had mine for quite some time (in silver) and it hasn't rusted yet. It's still in pretty good condition too. Seems to hold up well against everyday wear and tear.

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

For me, it didn't rust, but the metal on the bottom inside became splotchy and discolored. And it happened after the first time of use. You can see what it looks like here: http://tinypic.com/r/zv6h3d/5(I still use it though.)

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

Mine is still in as good shape as the day I bought it. No rust. No chipped paint.

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.

I live in indy and I've had it for 3 month or so. o have seen any rust yet. And its rained a lot so I would say no. plus I've got a friend who's got the same one and he's had it 2 years. his also has no rust.

I use it quite often and then clean and dry it by hand and have had no problem with rust as of this date. Care in washing and drying it well is the Key
