Umm.. claimed to be brushed stainless steel. Looks more like good
quality chrome to me.

Non magnetic so not mild steel. I'll report back in a few years:-)


Having acquired a Chinese stainless steel gate fitting, I learnt from
this very group that some stainless steel is prone to surface rust when
damp, despite its name.


Yes. We have some Japanese stainless steel cutlery which can pick up
spots of rust in the dishwasher. Interestingly, while I was testing the
caddy, I discovered that the knife blades are magnetic but nothing else.
