Be careful with this - in order to make it work for you, you have to buy two of them. It's only in the finest of the fine print do you see this - even the box it comes in is deceiving. Weber should get their act together and portray this single unit as it is.

The plastic lumber is screwed to a powder coated metal frame at each end. The metal to plastic insures it traps moisture between the two surfaces which guarantees the metal will rust. You need to a) either remove these shelves and store them, after every use, where they never get wet, OR b) Buy them again and again as they become corroded and unsightly.
IF Weber had made the frames of stainless steel, or even plastic the need to replace them regularly wouldn't exist. Powder Coating metal never seems to last long before the rust appears. On a BBQ subject to high temperatures, and exterior storage it is a sure thing. When you factor in a design to trap water against the metal it is a constant annoyance.

We recently spent about (...) replacing shelving, cooking grates, knobs etc. on our 9 year-old Weber Genesis grill. The grill looks like new and the new porcelain enameled cast-iron grates are awesome in that they combine the easer-care, durable cooking surface of porcelain with the heat retention of cast iron (which allows for perfect searing and indirect cooking which keeps everything nice and juicy.) So for (...) we have a grill that cooks and looks like new - much better than $600 for a new Weber grill comparable in size and quality.

Very deceptive is right. Even the illustration on the box shows one unit. Piece itself seems to be of very good quality, but such blatant misrepresentation is discouraging.
