Is this shower rod rust-proof?

I have had it up for about 2 months now and it still looks great!! No rust! It is all plastic

it's aluminum so will not rust (as in red iron type rust). It is a bit flimsy but gets the job done with the application I needed it for..

Yes... the stainless steel product rusts but only at the welds (brazed points). The structural rod (which is stainless steel) remains uncorroded. I recommend painting the item with a de-rusto paint before use; even then mine showed signs of some rusting at the braze points after 16 months.

no, it will not rust. Our has been wet or damp sitting next to our bathroom sink for over a year and still no rust.

The outside doesn't rust but the inside where the adjustment holes allow water inside will rust. I solved that by taping over the holes with duct tape. I thought that this unit very versatile and easy to use. It was easy to move between the commode and the shower. I would recommend it.

yes it is a one piece rod. not sure what it is made of, but i have had mine for 3 years with no rust. \i really like the fact that you can flip the rod into the tub area when not using it. It makes the bathroom feel bigger

Has no signs of rust. I like this shower rod a lot. Easy to install. You'll be surprised how much more room this adds to your shower.

rod is metal, ends are plastic. Unsure about rust issue-may be alright if no direct contact with water. I used in granddaughter's nursery-great for that-it is on the smaller size.

I have had mine since July of 2011 and as of this day today there is no rust on it!!! It stills looks like new!!! We take very hot showers and there is 2 of us that take showers everyday and all I do is wipe it clean after I spray it with foaming bubbles. If I ever need another one I will purchase this one. Awesome product and worth every penny!!

I couldn't say definitely if it is but the stainless steel is definitely corrosion resistant. Been using it for over a year with no signs of rust

The ends where it attaches to the wall are white plastic and the rod itself is chrome. Yes it is rust proof.

No it isn't rust proof, The outside is okay but water can get in the frame piping and you get rust.

That is exactly the reason I purchased them..no rust but they are extremely hard to get apart. Probably about half ended up crumbling to pieces when we pried apart. The ones that I am using on the shower curtain work great.

It is metal; not plastic. We have it above our bath tub and it has stayed nice for a long time; but we do not have a full shower in that tub so it doesn't get wet. I don't know if it would rust if it were exposed to water regularly.

Absolutely none and my service for 16 is in daily use. I'm sure I have over exposed it to water on occassion -- but no rust. Love it.

I'm not sure, but it's been in the bathroom for a few months now and shows no signs of rusting.

I had the very same question, so I asked their customer service. My email to them: I am wondering if the Kemp Stainless Steel Over the Shower Caddy is truly made of completely stainless steel. Your description says that it is made of high-grade stainless steel to be "rust proof", as opposed to just "rust resistant". http://www.zenith-products.com/shower-caddies/kemp-premium-over-the-shower-caddy-stainless-steel.html Rust resistant caddies are typically just coated with stainless steel over a cheaper grade of metal. Once the surface of the metal goes through wear and tear and scrapes, the exposed metal from underneath begins to rust. Since this is "rust proof", does that mean it's made entirely out of stainless steel, inside and out?" This is the response I got from them: "This caddy is stainless steel, not a stainless steel coating. I believe you may be thinking of the chrome finished products. Our stainless steel is stainless steel."
