I had a set in my bathroom of matching toothbrush holder, tumbler, and soap dispenser. I liked them because they were white ceramic that matched the tiles, but the bottoms were metal and over time they began to rust. I've replaced them recently with plastic, but I'm still somewhat perplexed by the situation. Look around at online reviews, it seems to be a common thing in the industry, not just with the products I bought. Didn't the designers realize these would be used in a wet environment? How could they create this with a metal that rusts easily? Shouldn't that be number two on the checklist? "Is the soap dish shaped like a soap dish?" "Yep." "The metal isn't rusting?" "Uh... I'll get back to you on that." "Oh well, it's not that important anyway."
