It was covered in a black powdery dust that I tried to wash and rinse out. Then the inside looks like it's corroded now and it looks like even some of the color came off of the outside of it. This is advertised to be a utensil holder but if you put kitchen utensils in there that have a few drops of water on there, it's going to corrode even more this is terrible quality. IT'S useless for what it is advertised for.
