Are the screws or other attachment hardware stainless steel or not? 2 other teak benches had proprietary hardware which rusted/stained tub.

The screws are definitely brass and have not rusted on me at all. However, after only a few weeks in the shower (two showers a day, one from me and one from my wife), the stain on the piece did bleed onto my shower floor. Took some serious scrubbing and Lime-a-way to get it only most of it off.

I'm not certain if they are stainless steal or not, but I suspect they are because we've had the teak bench for several months now in a constantly very wet shower environment (we shower about twice a day), and so far the screws do not appear to be rusting at all. No rust problems yet!

The screws appear to be brass, are sunk into the wood and tightened with an allen wrench (hex wrench). They are high up on the bench, fasten very tightly and have not rusted or stained anything.

I think so, I do know that in the three months I've had mine there has been NO staining, either from rusting hardware or from "bleeding" wood stain.

All stainless steel will scratch through use...it's part of the charm and character. I love my sink! Especially since it was so economical and comparable in quality to much more costly "brand" name sinks.

No idea - the shelves are natural wood (appearing) and all the exposed hardware is chrome. It is a very substantial product and is miles ahead of the lazy susan it replaced. Perhaps they offer a red stained version?? You'd have to call them. Sorry I don't have a better answer.

I just received it in December so no rust issues thus far. But if you take one of the rusted screws to Home Depot they can match it. They have an elaborate in store measurement grid to match hardware.

I don't know what make or model the pictured bench is. The one I have is different but the curtain works well. Don't know why magnets are sewn into the material as most tubs and surrounds are fiberglass now.

Likely will rust and have water incursion. Stainless steel grab bars are all I've found to not deteriorate. Those plus a shower chair provide user independence.

I don't know about others, but for me, my kettle works well and I have not found any rust problem on it since I bought it month ago, I use it at least twice a day. Hope it will help you

The screw's look like they would rust, if I was you I would get stainless screws.. I would still seal the basket. When you get the basket it comes in two pieces that is where I would seal it some way to prevent water from getting in. Hope that helps.

Jonathan, I've built 5 tables, and each was short at least one screw. The screws supplied are #10 x 1" plated steel, and I suspect they will rust quickly. So, I find that Lowes sells #10 x 1" stainless steel pan Phillips head machine screws in packs of 35 (WeatherMaxx brand). You'll need 3 packs to complete a table/bench kit. Those work fine, but the heads are slightly smaller in diameter than the 2x4 Basics supplied screws. So, if you use the Lowes screws, be sure to keep the screws deep into the "V" on the legs. And, they won't rust. Good luck.

Mine is 2 years old going on 3 and is on a houseboat in Key West. The machine screws (hex) that hold the calipers together and other misc. hex screws such as for the water bottle attachment are rusting. I plan to replace them with ss screws before they rust so much that I cannot remove them. They still have good threads. The bike is holding up better than I though it would, being stored in salt air, sometimes in the rain. It will probably be stolen before it rusts up. My last one was.

The screws are exposed. So will your stress veins when you realise it's rusting before your eyes. I installed four of the outside on a country side walkway and they have rusted, Buyer beware .

There is no stainless steel hardware on these straps whatsoever. The hooks are zinc coated steel. Without going outside and looking, I believe the buckle part is also zinc coated steel.

I'm concerned, too. There are two products identical to each other, one chrome and one stainless steel. I want the stainless steel model. But this one's 1-Star reviews show it listed as "Stainless Steel Finish" and rusting. I just have no idea what to believe.

The screws are not stainless steel however they are treated with a zinc dichromate plating. Lakeland Mills, Inc provides a 1 year warrenty.

According to Amazon's product description, it has a "stainless steel FINISH". Amazon's descriptions occasionally have mistakes, so maybe it is 100% stainless steel. I won't buy it until I find out for sure, as it's current price is very high. I too would like to find a good shower caddy that is 100% stainless steel, as a stainless steel "finish" or "coating" does not fully prevent rust.

Me, too. No bolts, no allen wrench, no assembly directions. Took two phone calls and two and a half weeks to resolve. I would suggest you call Aqua Teak as soon as your order is confirmed and insist that they open your box and check for fasteners before shipment. Love the bench, hate the hassle.

I am not sure. The texture is different than my teflon cookware. Running your fingers across the inner kettle there is the a sqeak to it. If you ask because like most teakettle owners, they leave water in it between uses. However, this is not a habit I would promote for a teakettle. I always rinse mine after use or before the end of the day. There is still some residual water as I don't leave it out to dry in the dish rack, but looking into it, there are no rust marks on it.
