Maybe that 'plating' is just a protective coating to prevent shipping damage?

I wish that were the case. Underneath the plating is rusty Steel.

Sneakers? Lift Assist? Rusty Parts? Defective Plating? Made in China?

Not my extension table or its t-track! They are made of aluminum and were assembled in my shop!

Yes sir made in the ole USA, It wasn't made in China so couldn't possibly be anything but terrific. Terrific in every respect other than the plating begins peeling of before a fellow even unpacks it. Now the vendor has been really good about replacing them. number three was picked up by our local mail delivery lady today. I guess poor quality can happen anywhere. fjimp:(
  • Base steel - Melted from recycled steel.....made in China and imported.
  • Cleaning and plating solutions - Reclaimed and repurified from disposed chemicals..... made in China.
  • Plating metal - Recycled zinc from sacrificial ship anodes that no longer function..... made in China.
  • Packaging materials - Recycled materials from overseas junk yard salvage which outgas formaldehyde, chlorine, and trichlorethylene.... made in China.
Did the US manufacture stand a chance??
