Any problems with rust on this piece? I have seen other cast iron umbrella holders that developed rust problems. Thanks for your time.

I purchased this 3 years ago and so far no rust. I would paint it when it shows paint decline as any painted metal will dull.

We just used this outside in the summer and we never had a problem. We've been very happy with it.

I have owned 6-8 of these for several seasons. They are stored outside in the snow each winter. If they ever start to rust, I will spray them with paint.Tie the umbrella down for storms.

We have had it a couple of years. It sat out through our awful Midwest winters. Haven't seen any problems so far.

I did. The item has a coating on it to prevent it from rusting. Wash well with soap and water, let dry and it should be fine.

My two chairs have been outside for 2-1/2 months now, with some rain in the afternoon about 75% of the days.No signs of rust so far. They dry out quickly as they are in a dry climate at about 8,100 feet altitude. Hope that helps.

I've not had this one in particular, in fact the one I have was given to me by a friend who had it on their back porch for at least a couple weeks before I got it, which is the only reason it is weakening now (the nails and screws rusted and what not). BUT, it still holds up very well to myself, (at 350 lbs) I've had it for at least a year now and the rust is finally starting to take it's toll on it, which is sad, but I am finding that some rope in the areas held by the nails is helping to fix that issue :)

I've not had any issues of rust so far. We use it in salt water area and it's held up fine. A quick rinse after each use seems to do the trick.

Great question, David. As it turns out, because of the pattern engraving process and the laser cutting process for the design, in rare instances there have been cases where a little residue is left from the manufacturing process. This has been the case in all of the "rust" issues. In fact, the "rust" (with a little effort) will wipe off. However, this is unacceptable to us and we always send the customer a new card holder. Does this make sense?Your satisfaction and experience with us is important to me!

I use it quite often and then clean and dry it by hand and have had no problem with rust as of this date. Care in washing and drying it well is the Key

I have had mine for 5 months now, we use it regularly and have zero rust. I wash it out and let it air dry after every use.

It is not supposed to rust, and I haven't had it long enough to see for myself.We've had se pretty severe storms with lots of wind lately (gusts up to 40mph) but it didn't topple over.

No problem with rust BUT we live in the desert. Also no problem with the cushions. We will probably need to keep this furniture covered or the weather will ruin it.

I just got mine in August, and I'm directly on the beach. So far it's holding up, with no signs of rust.

I've had mine for about two years. I've had no rust problems. In reading reviews it was suggested to NOT use a lemon-based detergent due to thoughts it might cause rusting, so I don't.

I plan to remove mine and try to rust proof it. I did not believe the post but mine has started to rust...not cool. Something needs to be done by manufacturer.

I have not had any rust develop on mine and have had it a few months. You should get decades of use out of chromed steel without rust if you take care of it properly.

I have the copper finish model. It is two or three years old and has no significant rust. It is kept outdoors on a covered deck from mid October through March in North Florida, lots of humidity! So far so good.

It does not appear to be susceptible to rust. It's well painted on every surface. I don't know how the salt in the sea air will effect it over time, but it's really well made, I can say that. We have ours outside uncovered and it holds up beautifully.
