This is the best piece we have bought in a long time! We have had it for almost a year. It is in our shower all the time. There are 2 people that shower every day and then it dries out over night and it is still in perfect condition. No flaking or discoloration at all. I have wiped it down with a wet sponge a couple of times to remove some of the leftover soap marks but thats it. Great piece and well worth the money!
