I want to put one of these INSIDE the shower... Will it rust or fill with water and will it hold firm?

I don't think it will fill with water but I would not trust inside shower. It requires a lot of tightening to keep it secure and I'm not sure the porcelain, tile or fiberglass would hold up to the tightening. It would probably work well for getting into and out of shower on outside. When tightened correctly it will definitely hold a lot of weight and can be screwed into floor and ceiling if need be. My only complaint has been the plastic bushings snapped when I moved it from one location to another.

By design, I wouldn't suggest this in a shower. Just outside the shower shouldn't be a problem, but it needs to be secured by tension from floor to ceiling and I fear it might crack your tub/shower with continued pressure. Plus, as you mentioned, it is metal so it will likely rust due to a few holes where residual water will enter and collect. Hope this helps.

We never used it in a shower but the handle would be about the only place water can get into the pipe. Draining at the bottom should be adequate, though. When you install, a little lubricant inside the pole should help prevent rust.

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.

It's metal so I'm pretty sure it would rust over time if it gets wet. It IS beautiful. I have it as the centerpiece in a collage of crosses on a wall.

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.

It adjusts to the size of your bath, within the parameters given. Looks to be stainless, but may be bonded. Has held up well in our master bath- we move it back and forth at least 4 times a day. Have not experienced any rusting, but as with any installation take care not to scratch the surfaces while putting it up. Side note: The handle used to move the bar back and forth is plastic. Pulling hard on that could cause a breakage of that piece.

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.

It says it is stainless steel. It should not rust in a shower if it truly is. I have not purchased it for that purpose it is on my counter top to aide in storage of smaller things.

I thinking the moisture from the shower may prevent it from sticking securely, I guess if your able to screw it into the shower wall, It should work perfectly

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,

For the past 3 years mine has hung from my towel bar in the back of the shower (i purchased the older chrome version). I had to add 2 additional suction cups to push the hooks at the top out so the caddy hangs level. I have been quite pleased with this product and it has yet to rust.

Yes. I have waited for along time for a expandable shower caddy and thought that this was the perfect one. Big disappointment since it rusted within a month. How can something that goes in the shower can rust so quickly?? I tried to return it, but it was too late (over a month). :(

it should hold if installed right. We use a hotel quality shower liner which is heavy and a shower curtain and still throw wet bath towel over it and have no problems what so ever.

I've had mine for about 3 months and it's still good! I always keep mine in the shower too, it hasn't rusted or anything like that.

I bought mine especially for my bathroom, completes it nicely. Only had it for 9 months...but it hasn't rusted at all

Mine stayed up for 13 months in a tiled shower before it fell and broke today :( One of the tiny plastic ball joints snapped in the fall, so it's done. Surprisingly, the metal tubing started to show rust after only two months. And I live in Phoenix. Nice an dry here. Anyway, not sure why mine fell. It was the second time but the first fall didn't break anything.

It is a fairly heavy duty plastic so it will not rust. Ours is inside, but I'm sure it would be fine outdoors. Be advised, it is huge! It's significantly larger than what I probably needed for my two 80# dogs. I cannot barely carry it after filled so if my husband is unavailable, I only fill it 1/2 and change their water more often. It is attractive looking though, as far as automatic waterers go.

I cannot confirm or deny that it might rust. I have mine hung on a wall in my lanai, so it is covered and away from the sun and elements. I have only had it about one month so it is hard to tell what wear and tear it might encounter.

Since the body of the seat is PVC type heavy plastic and the legs are brushed aluminum, my answer would be an emphatic YES. My mom has been using the chair in her shower for several months and it's showing no signs of rust.
