simplehuman Medium Tension Shower Caddy, Telescopic Corner Bathroom Shelf Storage Organiser, Extends 1.5m to 2.4m, Easy to Install, No Drilling, Rustproof, Adjustable Shelves, BT1109DC

After seeing one of these in a friend's house I wanted one for myself. I resisted and put in a wishlist, watching out for any price drops or offers. I noticed it was on offer with a voucher discount so I grabbed one. It offers great space for a variety of toiletries and even hanging face-clothes etc. It was easy to assemble and my ceiling-to-floor measurement of 260cm meant that I needed all the parts. Instructions were easy to follow and I could put it together and put it in the shower on my own without any assistance. It braces itself effectively and while there is a little backwards and forwards play/movement in it, it is minimal and doesn't effect its usage. There are cheaper versions of this available, but my experience of Simplehuman products are that they are well designed, well thought through, robust, long lasting, and good quality. So I thought that the higher price would be worth it as it is likely to last much better than it's imitators. Certainly the one in my friend's house is going well even after a few years. I'm happy with my purchase.

... worth every penny. OK, perhaps it could be a little less costly but I bought it whilst it was on offer and, although still expensive it wasn't full price. You certainly get what you pay for though. I wanted a floor to ceiling shower caddy for our new wet room that didn't need fixing in place by drilling holes, could be moved easily if needed and generally work for us, not what others thought would work. I also wanted one that would be fully adjustable, sturdy and not rust after 6 months. Hubby is a wheelchair user so needed to be adjustable to suit his needs. This has now been in place and in use for nearly 3 months and we love it! Easy to put together and position and there's no sign of any water marking it in any way, shape or form ... and it's right next to the shower. There was one little hiccup. One of the welded joints on one of the baskets came apart on Christmas Eve and it wouldn't hold the hook accessory. On noticing that Amazon were showing the caddy as out of stock I contacted Simplehuman via their website and within 3 days they'd sent me a replacement basket. Not only is this item excellent quality but the customer service matches it. I'm now thinking that it will never need replacing which, if costed against replacing a cheaper item because of rusting/breakage, then perhaps it's not as expensive as it appears. Initial large layout but it will pay for itself over the years .... and yes, I did say years :0)

I really struggled with the decision to buy this. Having spent a fortune on shower caddies over the years only to throw them away after a relatively short life due to rust or corrosion, I was a bit wary of buying yet another one, especially given the high price tag. I need not have worried. I've now had this for 9 months and it looks as good as new. It's in a shower cubicle so regularly exposed to water, rather than just steam. Assembly was very simple. You just decide what order you want the basket bits to be in and slide them onto the pole. There are various extension poles supplied depending on how tall you need this to be. It can be small (i.e to fit the space between the side of a bath and the ceiling), or taller to reach from a shower tray to the ceiling. It is spring loaded so once everything is in place you just have to squash it together a bit, put it in place and let it expand to stay put. I like the little "holes" one of the trays that allows you to balance shampoo bottles in upside-down to make the most of the dregs in the bottles. Also the razor holder is very handy. I've not made use of the toothbrush holders though - do people really clean their teeth in the shower? I will come back and update this further down the line but am fully expecting it to last a long while yet.

Product is arrived quickly and was easyvery to install. It is very sturdy and looks amazing. My only gripe is that my shampoo bottles do not stay upright in the baskets and have to find ways to prop them up. The baskets are large enough for a wide range of items and the holders can be used to hang your flannels, razor and wash mits. It is expensive but worth every penny so far. It's only been a couple weeks but it is easy to wipe clean. I'll be looking to see how the coating holds up with the water and condensation in the shower. Would certainly recommend.

UPDATE autumn 2017 - still fine, no rust, nothing broken after 4 years UPDATE - still fine, no rust, after 2 years... The fab reviews, and the fact that I didn't want to wreck our new shower with drill holes or rust, persuaded me to buy one of these. My opinions: A bit uglier than I imagined, slightly spoiling the look of the super-modern new shower cubicle, and quite bulky if you've only got a small, square or small, quadrant-shaped shower. But it's a necessary evil - you have to put your shower bottles, flannels etc SOMEwhere! One big drawback that no-one's mentioned: the wire baskets are made from quite thin and flexible wire. With the tray/shelf with the built-in soap dish, the dish strengthens the centre section of the tray and makes it rigid. It's the best of the 3 trays. But the other 2 trays sag when, say, 2 large bottles of Tresemme shampoo / conditioner are stored in one tray, so the sagging makes the 2 bottles (or whatever) slide and lean forward. Doesn't look right. Doesn't look vertical. (But I do have a bit of a thing about things being perfectly upright, perfectly horizontal or at exact right-angles. See my square watch review ;-) Others might not worry.) Also, the wide-ish spaced thin-ish wires mean that smallish bottles or bottles with thin 'footprints' won't stand up. or will fall through the gaps. You need chunky, broad-based bottles. Having said all that, I've never had a shower caddy before at any size, so I don't yet empathise with other reviewers' frustrations with rust and construction/product quality. And this certainly wasn't cheap. You add or subtract extension pieces using the guide leaflet to get the right height to match your shower height. I tend to take assembly instructions VERY literally, so I'm probably the only person on earth who struggled to work out which bits to use to fit my ceiling height, because the diagrams had been drawn inaccurately and a bit out of proportion/scale to each other, which confused me. But I'm not a daftie! Also, whatever you do, don't let the 'this way up' arrow sticker peel off - which it will when you start to slide the baskets onto the pole - until everything's assembled. Because if you decide to take everything apart and start again (guess who), you'll be all at sea. (Although if you peer inside closely or use a torch, you can see the spring that tells you when things are the right way up.) I didn't have any probs with the shelves scratching the matt silver main pole. Hope that helps. It's good, but no cigar ! AFTER A MONTH, THEN 2 MONTHS - still happy, and surprised my wife accepted it, but, again, as a necessary evil. She thought it slightly chunky and a bit obvious, but the sliding trays adjustable to her height are useful for the panoply of beauty collateral. (I just need a bar of soap and a bottle of shampoo and that's me fixed.) The price dropped by a tenner a short while after I bought it, annoyingly, but went back up to 'a ton' (I don't think I'm allowed to mention pricing) after a fortnight, so maybe keep tabs on the price if you can wait..

I bought this four years ago now and it is good as new, sturdy and practical. Not often I leave a review but this does deserve one for the sheer quality of the unit when compared with so much of the shoddy stuff on the market these days.

This is for the shower room, sick and tired of replacing rusty baskets that do not stay rust free. So after researching and taking the plunge ordered the tension shower caddy . Easy to construct, just read instructions , some patience is all that's needed ; straight forward to ensemble. Only had it in shower one day so time will tell. Meanwhile baskets are sturdy and slide on where you want and I bought two more as predominately female household and one male ! so lots and lots of smellies and lotion and potions. Lol. Looks stylish and elegant and very nice . It's transformed the shower. If it does what it says it does , and from what others who have reviewed this and wrote honest reflections . I would pay again for another one definitely. Company customer service very nice and gave 110% Service excellence. On opening after delivery my flannel or face cloth arm/ bar was broken hence the above comment re customer service , proof of purchase and photo of damage goods was required and they are sending out a replacement. 110% customer service . You pay a rather large some of money for a shower caddy and don't expect it to be broken but these things happen. So yes looks good , yes expensive but if it's rust free time will tell if I've wasted my money lol ... but everyone's reviews have made me take the plunge and so far after one day no regrets.

I needed a quality well-made tension shower caddy to use as storage in my small bathroom. There weren’t really any other options for storage in my bathroom, so I decided to mount the shower caddy in the corner of the bath. The unit was fairly easy to assemble, I did have to enlist the help of my partner to get the fit right, we have very low ceilings so had to trim part of the pole down, most people will not have to do this. On the upside the pole is made from aluminium so was easy to cut down. There are a few extra poles in the box to extend the size of the pole, I could have mounted it from floor to ceiling if I wanted too with the extenders included in the box. Once the unit was in place it is held very firmly in place by tension and it feels very firm. I have had cheaper tension poles in the past and they always felt flimsy, this is a lot better. There is a load of baskets with additional hooks etc attached. Like all Simple Human products there is a lot of attention to detail and functionality. For example, there is a hook to hold a shaver, and arms to hand cloths/sponges to dry. I am very pleased with the unit, and now have a place to put my many bottles and bathroom supplies. I would recommend this to anyone looking to get a really good quality tension shower caddy.
