Does this rust easily? I'm looking for something I can use in a rather damp cellar

I have not had the item long enough for it to rust, but just from examination of the product, I doubt that rust will be a problem. The rack is in my basement which while not wet, is not completely dry. I think that I could not say for sure that it does not rust for a few months at least.

I would think so. The finish appears appropriate and I doubt if rust over a period of short years would be an issue.

I keep it in my basement with no problems, The chrome does not look like it will rust easily at all

I purchased one for my kitchen. The frame is a chrome look, that would not rust but the joints are soldered and I guess it depends on what it is made of. Mine has not shown any sign of rust. You could put a clear coat of spray poly on the joints and it prob would be ok

I have only had my wine rack for a few months. So far it is holding up wonderfully. My basement, however, is fairly dry. I can tell you this is a quality piece and I have been very pleased with its performance.

No! I even leave a little water in it from time to time and no rust so far. I've had it for months & couldn't be happier.

I am not sure if it will rust or deteriorate if left outside. Mine is in my kitchen. My impression is that it is designed for inside use.

I've not experienced rust yet, but it does set unused. My house humidity runs around 58%. Have you tried a mild bleach and water solution for your mold?

Well, I'm not the authority on this question. I would contact manufacturer because that is a really good question. Currently, mine is set up outside in the elements, but I have thought several times that I sure hope it doesn't rust. I just have not taken the time to move it into the garage...lazy. Let us know if you find out that it needs to be stored indoors. Thanks!

I use mine in the cellar door to the outside and it keeps my cellar dry. Even when the springs outside squirt water in and I take on several inches of water the tjernlund underaire dries up the floor. MIKE

I use it indoors, but as it is aluminum, you should have no problem with rust.

I have had it in my kitchen for a few months now. I use it as a workspace, but also as an area in which to dry extra dishes atop a towel -- and they often get left there for a few days. I have yet to see evidence of any rust. The quality of the stainless seems quite good, but that's not to say I would leave it out in the rain. I think it would make a fine addition to your pottery studio.

We use everyday and have never seen issue with rust. There are some hard water issues and scaling but just need to clean with vinegar.

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 have not seen any rust. This is honestly the best rack I have even had and would recommend it

I put this one in the kitchen but had a larger, similar one in the bathroom and had no rust issues. It did get dusty as moisture, powder, etc. settled on it but otherwise it was not a problem.

Mine rusted wherever moisture can get inside. The visible parts did not rust but inside the tubes rusted and the ends that were covered by rubber did also.

Yes very much so...I am in Florida so it rains everyday during the summer. The unit is powder coated and so far there has been no rust or corrosion at all. I am using two of them as plant tables for my herbs and they get watered every day. Good buy for the money.

I have owned this towel rack less than a month, so it would be too early for rust x but the metal has a finish that would likely resist corrosion for a good long while. It looks decent and is quite practical. And...is not as expensive as others I have compared. I hope that is helpful.

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

No rust built pretty sold. It doesn't have an NSF stamp and the handle is kind of soft. It's great for home use but I wouldn't use it in a commercial kitchen.
