Is this bare metal or vinyl coated? I don't want bare metal scratching my stuff.

It is bare metal, but it's a clean polished surface. I've had my double-tier rack for almost 5 months and have never had a thought to change to another product. I have white dishes from Crate and Barrel and have not had any problem with scratches. I was surprised how many dishes I could get on the top rack, yet still load up bowls and small frying pans on top. The glasses and coffee cups fit easily under the top rack and bowls can be stacked on their side where the picture shows coffee cups. The one thing I did not like about the unit was the silverware holder. It is sectioned off which decreases the usable space. I bought a silver holder from Ikea that hangs over the sink from the front of the rack. Yes, I would buy it again and again. Mary LB

You do NOT want to purchase this. It rusts within two weeks and the rust stains.

It is coated. Not sure if it is Teflon though. Ours 3 years old. No scratches yet.

It is vinyl and you do scrape over it to get it to stick to the wall. Super easy to apply and still looks great

It appears to be some sort of vinyl or vinyl like covering, I have used it in My sink for months without a problem.

I think it is more like vinyl. I liked it so much that I ordered one set again while we moved.

We have had ours since December, no problems. It's more of a cloth cover not vinyl.

The metal is not coated with anything. Because of how the lids are supported, they don't rub or slide against each other -- a much more likely way for them to be damaged. I used to keep my lids in a drawer where they did slide around. And I often had to dig around to find the lid I wanted. Now I can open the cupboard, slide the lids out and pick the one I want.I've been using the one I bought for five months and I love it.

The entire thing is plastic-coated, and there is no hard or sharp metal to cause scratches. This is a great product.

It's a softer plastic, personally I haven't any issues with scratching. I got it the day after I purchased my minni, and it still looks like I just brought it out of the original packaging, this case dose a fine job! Hope this helped :)

It is the packaging. It is cardboard and it comes off. I love this item. It is all white vinyl coated.

Sorry, it is bare metal - I haven't noticed any scratching but my plates are far from new.

Can't tell it's coated with something that can scratch so we always use non metal utensils

Mine is coated. The description says zinc coated. It is a hard coating, possibly zinc (a metal) in fact.

It has an embossed leather texture. The vinyl is shiny but the texture mutes it. It is not the same as a shiny smooth finish but is definitely shinier than a matt finish. If your concern is that it looks like cheap plastic, I'd say no. It looks good.

Hi,It feels like vinyl. The disk sits on the table and doesn't move, the flat piece that the TV sits on swivels. Mine is on a wood wall unit & it works great with no scratching. Hope this helps.

this is clear coated. It will not take paint very easy. There is no way to take it apart to sand it so you can't get a good base to hold the paint.

It's a coated metal. We kept them out all summer with no problems! We've brought them in now for our harsh MN winters. Love them! We have 6 of them!
