Cast iron can develop rust if it is exposed to prolonged moisture, though the material itself is extremely durable. Wipe pieces with a dry or slightly damp cloth and keep them away from excess moisture and harsh chemicals; used outdoors, they hold up best in a covered area protected from rain and humidity.

Not exactly — each piece varies slightly in texture, color and finish because of the natural casting and hand-finishing process. On pieces with a hammered finish, that texture is applied by hand, so no two come out identical. These small differences are normal for cast iron decor, not defects.

Mounting hardware is included with the wall-mounted hooks, towel rings, towel bars and most toilet paper holders, so installation is quick; the freestanding toilet paper holder needs no hardware since it doesn't mount to a wall. Screw-in styles are the exception: they must be installed directly into a wooden surface — a beam, a stud or a piece of furniture — rather than into drywall.

Only the wall-mount pulley carries a published rating: up to 15 lbs when properly installed into a wall stud using suitable hardware. The hooks, towel rings and towel bars are solid cast iron built to hold substantial weight — coats, bags, full-size bath towels — and each comes with the mounting hardware needed for a secure installation.
