Have had the Double Tumblers for about ten years and found them hold up well even on the extreme N/W corner of California with heavy rain and 'salt spray' from the Pacific Ocean. After 8-10 years the hinges did finally rust and 'lock-up' and the bands around the bins rusted and broke, however a call to Lifetime to order parts was easy with the parts being sent quickly and at no charge! Customer Service is EXCELLENT! AS IS THE PRODUCT!
