i set this up for an outdoor all purpose sink. Do the legs rust since it is exposed to the elements? any suggestions to prevent rusting?

While the metal is still clean, there's no reason you couldn't [spray] paint them with Rustoleum or other metal protecting paint.

I think they will rust if used inside or out I think they are chrome plated steel. I still would take them over non-metal. Probably as good as you can get. Very nice looking.

I don't believe they will as they look to be either stainless steel or aluminum. This is a very good sink, you will like it.

I am using it outdoors. And no problem so far. The entire contain is hard plastic so it will not rust.

The feet have a clear plastic sleeve on them to protect your sink. Mine rusted inside the plastic sleeve, as well as in all the joints of the rack after a year.

Mine stays outside and is holding up well. But only have had it for 6 mo. No corrosion or rust. I believe it comes with a 10 year guarantee against that.

I noticed some rust on the bottom when mine sat in some water. I have it under my covered patio now and also have purchased a cover for it to prolong it's life. Based on the small amount of rust on the bottom, my answer would be "yes". Hope that helps.

No rust thus far; had mine for nearly a year. Gotta say, though, I generally don't keep water just sitting in itl

yes, we leave it outdoors all summer, w/ no problems. It has a good finish and does not rust -- although if you were to "rock" it on a stone/concrete/brick patio, the coating would erode.we made a quick cover out of some plastic packaging to keep the leaves/detritus from collecting in the "lounging" area - that was the only fail in the design -- realistically, there is no way a "hole" could have been placed in the sit-upon area w/o destroying the integrity.

right now i have mine at 34" and use it with 24" stools. the top is plastic (mine black doesn't look cheap, wish i had got the red), but i don't know about rusting.

Stainless steel certainly isn't supposed to rust. I have had this rack for a year now and it still looks as good as new. And, more importantly, it has kept my sink looking good also.

Ours has been outside in all weather conditions. No rust although I think it is cast aluminum.

I live in coastal area also. I've had the item on the exterior of my house for almost a year now. No rust yet.

I don't have this in the bathroom but just outside the bathroom in a small hallway. But it's in my summer home that's on a river and thus a very damp environment. I have not noticed any rust at all.

Yes, for the most part. The legs might rust after long term outdoor use, but should be fine for occasional weather exposure.

I've had mine for a little over a year now, and no signs of rusting. I also purchased the in-sink dish drainer, and it is holding up beautifully as well. This is a quality product, made of a heavy duty stainless steel.

I've had mine outside on my balcony in an uncovered location since I purchased it in July. It is also in a place that gets a lot of water because I keep plants on it. It still looks brand new, no sign at all of rusting.

Good quality stainless steel such as this Kohler will not rust when reasonably maintained. I have had SS sinks in my beach house and no problems

It has a high heat resistance finish, so I beleive it will hold up to the direct sunshine. Recently puchased this sink and we are glad we did.
