Is there any rust on the installed hinges? I worry about the scratches and hammered/filed finish rusting in the long-term. Thanks.

Mine have only been installed for about a month and a half so no rust so far. I don't expect any problems though.

It's a smooth polished finish. It's just a brushed look rather than a shiny 'chrome' look. I love these hinges. They give a really nice updated look.

Judith the hinges have held up so far , but its still too early to tell after 2 months. I have the mailbox installed on a covered porch so it will not be exposed directly to wet conditions. I am very pleased with the quality and design. However, the mounting hardware/screws DO NOT come with the product. Good Luck!

Mine is still in as good shape as the day I bought it. No rust. No chipped paint.

I've had mine for several years and they show no signs of rust. Seem to be made of quality material.

Yes, mine began to rust almost immediately at the point where the chrome enters the caddy. I had four. Eventually they all broke at the hinge points where the caddy connects with the side grippers.

Hi. We have had 5 of these in our garage for 2+ years, in the Seattle area and have had no rust issues. My husband LOVES them. Hope that helps.

Well I have had my set of work stands for almost two years and as of yet no problems with any rust. However I am in Arizona and it is dry here, not a big problem. The painted ends appear to be painted with powder coating and covered very well. As long as they are not stored outside in damp conditions I would think you would receive many years of good service from them. I do enjoy these stands and would not hesitate to purchase them again.

No rust yet, but I've owned this rod for a little over a month. I wish I could be more help. Good Luck.

I have no problem with the product rusting. Holds up well if cleaned and cared for after each use. I have had one for more then 5 years and bought a 2nd one as a gift about a year ago.

They can rust, but what I've seen is only surface rust that can be cleaned off. I would think with proper cleaning and maintenance it would be less of an issue.

I've had mine for 5 months. No sign of rust. It's a nice heavy duty rack - not cheap or flimsy. I think it's worth the price. I would buy it again.

had mine for 4 years. Love it! not a bit of rust. Looks new. out in all Maryland weather without any attention. I bought the gate that matched and it has been a disaster. Rusted by the end of the first year. Not sure why the difference. But I cant recommend the fence panels enough.
