My wife has about 35 bottles of crap in the shower and each year we have to buy a new holder for them because the the one we bought the year prior is rusting to pieces. The last one we bought was a $69 "never rust" stainless shower caddy that only lasted a few months before starting to rust. Chinese crap...

Are they all junk? Anybody ever had one that didn't rust, aside from the little plastic ones?

I have one that I had made out of teak, it has lasted 6 years so far, no problems.

Mine is plastic-coated steel.  It is about 10 years old and has not rusted.

Plastic-coated steel is vulnerable if the plastic coating breaks.  This allows water in under the coating and rust is inevitable.  Watch the rack carefully remedy the problem at your first opportunity.  Plasti-Dip comes to mind to repair a cracked coating but there are other ways to re-seal it.

Find one made of plastic with no metal involved.
Stainless almost invariably requires heat treat and passivisation after welding.

But soap corrodes aluminum unless the metal is correctly finished.
