Tools and Hardware Reviews of 5 ft. Crescent Shower Rod - Brushed Nickel
Customer Review: What's up with this rust?
Summary: 2 Stars
OK, we purchased this item through Amazon in December 2007. Along with this rod, we also purchased "Shower Curtain Rings (Set of 12) - Satin Nickel." For both of these, [...], LLC. was the seller and shipper. Now a little over a year later, the shower rod is rusting.
I called [...], LLC. customer service just to ask if they'd received any other calls on this rod rusting. The lady I spoke with (very nice and courteous) placed me on hold as she checked. After a few minutes, a gentleman named Kevin returned; Kevin identified himself as one of e[...], LLC. owners. He said he'd just spoke with the supplier (Shower Solutions) and confirmed the rod only has a 1 year warranty. He suggested I contact Shower Solutions.
I called Shower Solutions; Kevin had given me their number. The lady I spoke with said she wasn't aware of any rusting problems with this rod. I asked her if she knew the rod's base metal; she said it was just regular steel. I said I was just curious if the base metal was perhaps stainless steel, brass, or some other non-rusting metal alloy. She said the rod is steel with a nickel plating. She asked what curtain rings we were using. When I told her we were using metal rings we'd also purchased from [...], LLC. through Amazon, she said the metal to metal contact was likely causing the rust. However, I explained to her the rings we'd purchased were solid brass with a satin nickel finish (plating), and neither of these metals rust. Also, I told her the rings aren't showing any signs of rust! She had no answer and suggested I try polishing the rod to remove the rust.
So, what's up with this rust? First, I find it interesting how Shower Solutions points a finger at the metal shower rings as the problem. Second, if the rings are the problem (I'm confident they aren't), why wouldn't [...], LLC. place a caution on their listing for the shower rod to NOT use any metal rings with it? Finally, where's the quality? We paid $50.94 for this shower rod, and we believe it shouldn't rust!
I'm now looking for a replacement rod which is unquestionably stainless. My thoughts on this rusting rod are simple; it's likely very, very thin plating over improperly prepared base metal. I gave it 2 stars because its 2 mounting brackets are strong and easy to mount.
