Barelli Large Chrome Bathroom Shower Caddy

Barelli Shower Caddy. Poor quality. Cheap manufacturing process – This item, and I expect ALL these items and models of this brand are supplied through Bunnings. This item is not manufactured to proper standards of chroming. with the chrome plating being directly applied to the steel, which seems to be the norm these days. The ultra thin chrome finish starts allowing to let rust from the steel to lift the chrome and it can be dangerous as there will be razor sharp flakes of chrome breaking away from the base metal. If you need to understand this check out the chroming process and the nobility of metals. (Same situation as the chrome on your kids bikes). The one I purchased shows rusting by hanging in the shower cubicle for less than 3 months.

Multiply this with the many sold around Australia, it starts looking like a bigger deal.
