simplehuman Utensil Holder

I have mixed feelings about this item. It is beautiful, stylish, and solidly built. It is constructed from heavy black plastic and thick stainless steel. It's bottom-weighted so it won't easily tip over. It has a heavy-duty very cool removable spoon rest. I purchased this item twice from Zappos, however, and unfortunately twice had to return it: (1) SimpleHuman packaged this product in only a thin clear flimsy bag that was twisted shut at the top and sealed by a piece of tape. It was placed into a Zappos box to ship with the standard packing materials. But the weight of the item, combined with UPS' tendency to toss boxes around in transit, caused it to bounce around inside the box. The spoon rest came loose from the holder at some point, then proceeded to move around freely inside packaging and scratch the heck out of the utensil holder. By the time I received it, it was heavily scratched and dinged. I returned it immediately, and reordered. The second one was packaged the same but fared better in transit. I kept it. But, (2) After I washed it the first time, I realized that it is not a sealed unit. This means that after I rinsed it off I heard splooshing coming from within, indicating the presence of water underneath and inside (presumably where the plastic base is bolted to the metal holder). However I found that I could shake shake shake it all around to get the water out and I decided to live with it. Unfortunately, after less than half-dozen washings I noticed that the single screw used to bolt the plastic base to the bottom of the holder had rusted solid. Yes, my water has minerals, but I have always been able to avoid rust on my metal items by drying them immediately. The rust formed on the head of the screw even though it was dried quickly. On the bright side, the screw is located on the bottom of the holder and is therefore not visible unless you turn the holder upside down. Not sure why they'd put a rust-prone screw into an item that will contact water. They do make rust-resistant screws (think: shower-hinge). So, sadly, reluctantly, I decided to return the item for the second (and Final) time. However, these are the only 2 problems I've found, and I've detailed them as thoroughly as I can so that potential buyers can make an informed decision. Zappos makes returns so painless that Issue #1 (shipping damage) should not really even factor into a purchase decision. So if you can live with Issue #2 (non-sealed base and a single rust-prone screw) then I'd say Go For It. It's a good product for a great price.
