Our set is a few days old. Last night it rained and today I noticed tiny rust spots on the table. Why is that as I thought it was weather resitant ?

I thought it was weather reisistant too .... but ours began to rust shortly after putting it on the deck. Now halfway into the summer, it is covered in rust at nearly every spot where the metal weaves over & under each other!! VERY disappointed & would love to have my money back!!!

You just didn't notice them when you first got it. I have the dinning set, the bistro set and two lounge chairs. They all have small rust areas. The coating on it is like a "primer". I bought a can of Rustoleum that matches exactly and sprayed the spots. I'm sure more will appear and I'll spray those too.

We've had several pieces for more than a year and "weather resistant" may be accurate but I don't think it's weatherproof. Soon as I assembled ours I sprayed with a rubberized paint. It seems to be good outdoor furniture and has held up well, but even with the paint there are numerous areas of a rust-like light stain. Not too bothersome to me and doesn't appear to be breaking down the material. But, again, I would not consider the furniture weather/rust-proof.

I'm happy for the owners with no rust but nearly 6-8 pieces that I own have rusting at the top of the design. I took a chance and lost when ordering this set. I feel you're taking a chance as well if you order this set. Good luck!

I have had it on my patio here in SW Florida for many years, and it has not rusted yet, but my patio is under cover, so not sure about if it is in direct rainfall

I don't think our environment is particularly wet, although maybe summer will be damp enough to cause some rust. Ours doesn't actually get water on it. It looks fine and holds the few towels we need, but it might rust if left out in a garage or used in a damp basement.

I am quite sure it's the underside; mine is still buried in snow in the back yardWhat I will say is a down-side is that it got mildew in crevices, under the table insert; this is Northern New York, and mildew is not real common here

I've had mine for 1.5yrsThis year I left it outside during the winter, its showing signs of surface rust. An easy fix. I plan to sand it down and spray it with Heat Resistant paint. I am happy with it.

For me, if I dry them a bit while I put them away they do fine, but if I am lazy and leave them in the dishwasher with a couple drops on them, they do rust in that spot. I was a bit dissapointed with that but I still love the set, really!

Mine is not doing that. I live in a very humid climate and I don't wipe my down very often and when I do I use a organic cleanser and disinfectant. Moisture I thought was the main cause for rust.Sorry.

If you put it in the dishwasher it will get rust spots over time. My old set I use to take the rust spots out with steel wool. If you wash it by hand it won't rust.

I haven't experience it so far but I can only see that happening if they are letting the water sit. It is rare went stainless steel rust. Its a beautiful sink and worth the money.

My two chairs have been outside for 2-1/2 months now, with some rain in the afternoon about 75% of the days.No signs of rust so far. They dry out quickly as they are in a dry climate at about 8,100 feet altitude. Hope that helps.

I don't think you should have much of an issue with rust . This table is highly resistant to stains and rust . I don't recommend using it outside , but as long as u wipe it down , it should be fine.

After about 1 year, the metal frame is good as new. The paint has gone from shiny to dull, but no rust is evident. The tables (I have three) are in a relatively dry part of the country. Intense sun, heat, and cold are the norm.

I have only owned this set for less than 6 months so I do not have a long-term assessment. The manufacturer claims it to be treated to prevent rust and I believe this to be the case. I have covered the table for the winter with another product available on Amazon. So far I am very impressed with the quality and durability of the set. I expect it to last for a very long time.

I believe so. Rust only occurs on iron material. The brown color fades slightly. We have had our set for two and a half years and it still looks nice, but it has been undercover on a porch.

No but I notice a few spots on the outside of the pot that are getting discolired but it's not rust. I empty my pot each time I use it, not because of rust but to keep down a hard water build up.
