Would a plastic wall hung baby changing table, like in store restrooms, be a better alternative? I am sure that IF this unit could be taken apart that a good polyurethane could be used to protect the wood surfaces. Perhaps the screws/hardware could be replaced with quality non rusting ones also. I am in no way saying the originals aren't quality. The manufacturer may be able to provide you with a parts list to better help you with your decision.

Only the top is stainless the core for the top is bare wood and the brackets to fold and unfold the tops are likely to rust.

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.

We don't leave it in the tub all the time. After the shower is done I take it out of the tub, wipe it off, and store it in a spare bedroom. So far, we have seen no sign of rust. It really is a nice unit, very sturdy and easy to use.

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.

It is not metal inside at all. It's plastic. But whatever I put in it stays the temperature it began with for several hours. I'm thinking no about the portable water heater, but I haven't tried it and like I said the inside is plastic not stainless steel.

I have not exposed this item to seawater so I cannot comment from experience. Stainless steel comes in many grades, some are more resistant to corrosion in seawater than others. There is no indication regarding the type of stainless used, so you are better off going with the brass or plastic offerings.

I bought mine especially for my bathroom, completes it nicely. Only had it for 9 months...but it hasn't rusted at all

From everything i found, and after using it for about a year... there is no damage to dogs, no weird sounds to humans, and it is a miracle worker..... Just... DONT LET IT GET WET. Seems to have a problem being left out in the elements but if you put something like a piece of plastic over it you should be fine.

I keep this inside. I wouldn't hesitate to use it outdoors. It is pretty well made so I think it would withstand rain showers. I don't think it would easily rust under those circumstances. I don't know what you mean by constant water. I've had it for a while and the finish looks great. I do toss it into the drawer under my washing machine, so it's gotten knocked around a bit. I'd buy another, but I don't have to replace this one yet. I hope this is helpful.

I've had mine for about 3 months and it's still good! I always keep mine in the shower too, it hasn't rusted or anything like that.

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.

I have noticed the shower is getting cleaner, the drains are no longer rusty or showing very little rust. the kitchen sink which is stainless steel is the cleanest no white lime residue. We have disconnected our water softener and still get soapy water. Hope this helps.

No, I don't think so. It has nice large rubber foot coverings, suction on one side (your choice) and the seat and upper sliding parts are plastic. I love it. I looked at a lot of chairs before deciding on the sliding shower chair and its very sturdy. I do leave my chair in place since I alone use this shower, no signs of rust at all.

We bought for our bathroom where we all shower. It's steamy and we've had for a year with out rust. I'd never put in the shower or spray it with water every day. LOL.

I'm concerned, too. There are two products identical to each other, one chrome and one stainless steel. I want the stainless steel model. But this one's 1-Star reviews show it listed as "Stainless Steel Finish" and rusting. I just have no idea what to believe.

I don't have my mounted in the shower. Mine are in my business restrooms near the sink. BUT, the wall is completely tiled and the thing doesn't budge. It comes with the whole back side covered in double sided tape. Super industrial. There are, however, mounting holes if you choose to go that way but it doesn't come with hardware. I'm curious if it would hold up in a shower with moisture, etc. I would recommend letting it sit mounted without any soap in it and stay dry for at least 1 full day. Good luck.

It says it is stainless steel. It should not rust in a shower if it truly is. I have not purchased it for that purpose it is on my counter top to aide in storage of smaller things.
