Honestly I don't know, I have it hanging on a bedroom wall. I live down south myself where it's nothing but rain and muggy so I completely understand why you ask I just don't have the answer, but I do believe this is both an indoor and outdoor piece so I don't think it would rust. Then again... Who knows.Goodluck!

We live on a lake and the decor is partially exposed to the elements. I put on a couple coats of clear laq. + no problem yet

I haven't had it long enough to be able to know for sure. I hung it outside in my patio area and hope we get lots of rain......we live on the central coast of California. It's really a nice piece of artwork -- looks much better than the picture depicts.

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.

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 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 have mine in my bathroom...I have a large bathroom and with the sauna or whirl pool humidity I have had no problems.

The rack seems to be protected with a hard (baked-on?) finish that will fade a little when left out in the elements. This appears to be normal wear and tear. I noticed some very minor rust forming where the front and back parts are joined to each other, but this can be fixed with rustoleum paint or WD40. Overall, I don't consider the rust as an "issue", but if you leave it mounted to your roof outdoors year around, it can and should be inspected and touched-up every once in awhile, especially if you live near salt water or in harsher climates.

I left mine out all year.......rain and tons of snow.........and not a bit of rust. If paint ever chips, I'm sure that will rust, so would have to touch up the paint before the next winter.

Well it is metal so I do think if outside it might rust. I guess if humidity is not an issue and you keep relatively dry then okay.

It isn't rusting and mine is outside day and night. I wipe it off maybe once a week from leaves and all. Still looks new.

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 have had it in my kitchen for a few months now. I use it as a workspace, but also as an area in which to dry extra dishes atop a towel -- and they often get left there for a few days. I have yet to see evidence of any rust. The quality of the stainless seems quite good, but that's not to say I would leave it out in the rain. I think it would make a fine addition to your pottery studio.

its been with me for almost a year now. i made my own cover. things are fine with me, no rust. i reccomend that you make a thik cover to prevent it from heat and rain.

I put this one in the kitchen but had a larger, similar one in the bathroom and had no rust issues. It did get dusty as moisture, powder, etc. settled on it but otherwise it was not a problem.

It is painted but I would suspect it would rust if it was not on a covered porch. I have it in a bathroom. It is more of an indoor piece the a outside plant stand

It is metal with a what looks to be a powder coat paint. I think it would eventually get surface rust, but if it doesn't need to look pretty, it would probably last for years outside.

Ironically I just moved my rack inside after being in the sun and the rain since mid may. The rack shows no rust EXCEPT slight rust at the screws that hinge the sides in and out. I consider this a minor problem and a little oil will fix it I have 4 of these shelves and although pricey they are great top quality J Fred Madden.....Springboro OH

Well, I'm not the authority on this question. I would contact manufacturer because that is a really good question. Currently, mine is set up outside in the elements, but I have thought several times that I sure hope it doesn't rust. I just have not taken the time to move it into the garage...lazy. Let us know if you find out that it needs to be stored indoors. Thanks!

Absolutely! I've had mine outside exposed to the AZ sun for the last three years (11/12) and it still looks great.I just hose off the dust and let air dry.However, I did spray paint it with Rustoleum when it arrived to a brown to match my patio furniture.

We live in central texas, and our unit stayed out all year long. No problem from the sun, but your unit will RUST. That's what you need to protect it from. My hoop eventually rusted completely off after 2 years. I replaced the whole thing with another unit of equal size that has NO METAL parts. It's MUCH better!

The metal on the top and bottom already has a "rusted", aged look to it. But, I wouldn't think the wood trim would last very long outside. I live in Houston with high humidity. I bought two and put them on either side of my buffet in my dining room. I love the way they look. I've looked at local stores and never found anything I liked better than these. The wood trim has a hint of burnt orange mixed in with the wood color and black. I hope this answered your question.

It's made if metal with a black powder coat -so yes metal will rust exposed to weather. You could try spraying with a more weather proof paint .
