I'm concerned about the towel rack rusting over time. I plan to hang in the shower. It will not be close to direct water but moisture.

Mine in hung outside the shower area. It is chrome though so it shouldn't rust.

I have not had the item long enough for it to rust, but just from examination of the product, I doubt that rust will be a problem. The rack is in my basement which while not wet, is not completely dry. I think that I could not say for sure that it does not rust for a few months at least.

I use this to hang up wet towels after I've used them to shower with and I have not found any damage to the racks or items. I believe it is safe to use for the purposes you have in mind!

No, we have had it in our main bath now for a year and it still looks fantastic. If there is any rust might be from shower curtain clips. They are usually cheaply made,

I don't think the rack would rust during a rainstorm. Although I would be more concerned about any wind that might accompany the storm unless you have a spot to put the rack to keep the wimd from pushing it over with your clean laundry on it. The bars of the rack are nicely finished with plastic tips. So I wouldn't worry about the rust.

In terms of appearance not very long. I've had my dish rack almost a year and its pretyy sturdy still but the constant exposure to water dulls the bamboo and turns the heavily used areas a faded white color( especially the upper middle row). I wish I had pained it with some type os protective coating first.

I did. The item has a coating on it to prevent it from rusting. Wash well with soap and water, let dry and it should be fine.

I haven't had my shelf very long, but it seems to be very durable. Our bathroom, is very large and mine is mounted on the wall well away from the shower, so I know it won't rust there. But if you have it in a bath that gets totally hot and steamy, or close enough to where it might get splattered, be aware that it might rust. I like it because it holds alot and we can always have clean, fresh towels handy.

No, it hasn't for me at all. It was a great purchase. The adjustable feet make it really easy to move and they haven't rusted either. If you are sloppy with your shampoo bottles and have bar soap on the rack then you probably will have to rinse the rack more often, but I would assume that would be the case with any shower shelving.

No hardware to rust. The wood dowels are inserted in the wood sides. I love this rack. I hang sheets, towels, clothes, everything on it. It is tall and wide. I like the dowels that make a flat area in the middle to lay sweaters and such on. If your wife likes drying racks, I'm sure she will like this one. It's as close as I could get to the antique type drying racks that I loved so much. This is why I got this rack. Hope this helps.

It's all steel with some rubber which gets it a little off the counter. Moisture could cause rusting I guess. But I can't say how much water/moisture would be required to do so.

We have placed it behind the toilet and it will not get it wet, so I wouldn't think it would rust. It is lightweight, but is well made and went together easily. Hardest thing was to find someone with a drill and a level to hang it, as I am totally inept at hanging things straight.

I've had my first one for 6+ years and have had no problems with it. I guess if you leave it in a moist enviroment it might. We live in a very humid climate and still no problems. Love this rack.

We live in Tucson, AZ where it is very dry, with little humidity. I had a similar drying rack for years that did eventually rust. This is why I plan to spray the sides with a product that will protect it. Hopefully it will last for years.

Yes. My caddy in my shower but not direct in the line of water only steam, and started rusting within a month or so. It's rusting everywhere.

I have had mine hung outside for a couple of months. It's been dry this summer in the Pacific Northwest. No sign of any corrosion. This is really a nice product.

I don't think it will rust. We leave ours assembled and don't dusmantle it every time so that may overall help prolong the life of the rack too.
