Let's be honest. If it's painted black do you really think it's stainless steel? Well if you had doubts I can confirm that's it's not. I figured as much but I've only had it a month and it's already rusting. I would've returned it but 鶹 wanted $70 from me to return it. I dont mind touching it up with paint but it's thin steel and I don't know how long I have till the rust makes a new hole. I guess we'll see how it holds up
Edit. I increased the rating to 3 star due to the company's customer service. I'd increase it to 4 if the stainless steel description wasn't there but maybe they really are stainless and I just got a bad one. It does look and work good but time will be the real test
