Is it really stainless steel (at that price)? I live near the ocean in warm weather and wonder if it will last

Yes, it appears to be stainless. I was actually pleasantly surprised at how solid the floor lamp is. The base is marble..and looks like the photo.

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.

Not really sure what "commercial" grade stainless steel would be like but I would almost doubt it. So far it's held up pretty good but we have a cover so it's not directly exposed to the weather. Also, I don't think it's double walled.

Yes its stainless steel. Not sure of the quality of the steel but at this price just buy several and when one breaks, rusts, or wears out then discard it and use the next one

Not certain, but I speculate that since it's not stainless steel it will be prone to rust Having said that, the one I bought is in our laundry room with some humidity and still looks brand new.

Jason, yes it is stainless steel. The handle does have two plastic parts where your fingers touch the handle to prevent heat transfer.

Hi Liz I don't know BUT I've lived on the Carribean coast for the past 38 years and I have learned through painful experience that if anything metal is not first class it wil rust in a few weeks and I've had this for about a year now and it's in perfect condition. :0)

Yes it is all stainless. And appears to be quite sturdy. I am thinking about ordering another one :)

it is not stainless steel so it will rust. I haven't noticed much rust, but I don't leave it wet or outside so that it would rust. With normal common sense care, rust is not a problem. If you are asking about rust to determine if it is made of soft iron, it is not. It is definitely steel, but not high nickel or chrome steel Thus, it takes an edge nicely

We have had ours for about 4 months. It is always outside and no corrosion yet. We picked this particular model and style because of the price and it's supposed to withstand corrosion.

I called the manufacturer and they said it was 100 percent stainless. I have had two of these for about 6 months and they have held up well.

I do not know for sure that it is stainless steel, but all I can say is that it looks and feels like stainless steel. It is very tough.

Hi. No it is not stainless steel. It is like a vinyl type material. Has worked well so far.

I've had it outside in the summer, however it is stainless steel so it was brought in every night. Very durable-solid

I just got mine in August, and I'm directly on the beach. So far it's holding up, with no signs of rust.

Technically I can't answer. I am a retired Mechanical Engineer and can say that it appears to be well constructed and I have it installed on a radio that is in my garage ( no heating, AC etc.) and I live in a coastal community in North Carolina (on the water actually) with high humidity, salt air etc. and I've noticed no rusting etc. and I've had it for a couple of years. It is also not magnetic.

Yes, I have mine for less then 3 months and my hardware is rusting! No take into consideration I live on the beach but wtf .. That being said it was the least expensive one I could find and maintain the hardware
