I wonder if this rack has been improved since some of the older reviews came in complaining about "pot" metal and not having all the parts included.

Mine worked out OK. All the parts were included and I don't think I'd call them "pot metal." They generally seem pretty sturdy and they even look good. I did have an issue with the fit and had to drill out one of the holes to get it to fit properly. Other than that, they seem to pretty well built. (At least mine do.)

I've owned and used this rack for over a year now to transport my kayak and it is just fine. I highly recommend it.

I bought this in June. I had no problems and no missing parts. We loaded it with a travel pod full of camping equipment and drove 3000 miles.

No longer ordered in July of 2013 dodnot receive all of the covers that go on the mounts. Beware.

I don't remember. The screws are robust, however, as they need to hold a substantial load. The screws that are needed are included with the rack.

No, it doesn't. I really like the rack b/c it holds a lot, but I had to get a separate tray (and large ones that drain from the end can be difficult to find).

I'm not sure. The rack isn't great. The welds are spotty and rusty. It works for it's intended purpose but I could have done better.

Rack is different than the one that originally came with the pot. The other had separators for jars. This doesn't. This works great!

After about three years, I had multiple rust spots on mine. They were all small, but I didn't mistreat the rack and never had it in storage; I'm not sure why my experience was different from that of everyone else here. On the plus side, the rack was incredibly sturdy and useful, so I wasn't too troubled by the patches of rust.

I'd be interested in seeing the photo as well. I'm considering buying the racks.

The rack came with the pan and I have never had a problem with rust on either item.

My 2nd Fbike ordered a few months ago came with padals with mostly metal parts, which is a nice improvement of the bike. The 1st one I ordered in Jun 2014 came mostly plastic, but I have no problems with them after 200+ miles.

Yes, and some of the parts, that other customers complained rusted, have been replaced with plastic. The cup holder design has been improved as well. I first purchased this dish rack about ten years ago when I was living in a cottage that did not have a dishwasher. Then it sat idle until my daughter took it to use. Now that I am moving to a cabin with no dishwasher, I bought the newer version. All previous complaints have been fixed by a redesign. I love the product.

Mine came ready to install and it was easy to do. Lower rack required some work and broke one part while assembling it. No replacement parts are sold - only complete units. Bah!

I dont believe so, not through amazon anyways. If you're having issues with the stability or duability of your rack, dont worry i suffered the same issues. It turns out i didnt assemble it as tight as possible. Turning it on its side and pushing it in will allow it to stay better:) hope i helped

I have responded previously about this product - kindly do not ask me again. It is a great rack, and yes to your question.

If I remember correctly Angel it did. It was a very easy fix and I did have parts left over as I reused some existing. But don't quote me on if everything was there, as it was a few months back.

Hello,Thank you for your inquiry! We are currently out of stock although it shows on the website there is a couple remaining and it should be updated in 24 hours to reflect the correct information. We do receive shipments weekly so please check back again on the website. Since we are out, I cannot check to see if the rack is also stainless steel and was not able to get the information from the manufacturer either pertaining to what the rack is made of unfortunately.Please check back soon!Ann

When I received the rack I rinsed it off and stood it up to let it dry. However, this was without all of the jars in it. It's a very solid piece of metal with good weight to it, but I can imagine if you're pulling out the jars and sticking them back in, you'll want to attach some sort of base.
