Corner Caddy works great,
This corner tub caddy works great for years. It fits well between the corner of the tub and the ceiling.Has four triangle shelves, pretty sturdy. Holds shampoo,conditioner,etc.After six years my first one started to rust and one shelf started to sag so I bought another one just like it.

|perfect for the price,
This is a cheap shower caddy, make no mistake about that. But it does the job, and I think you’ll find that it lasts for years. I have one in my home that I’ve had for over 12 years. That one needs replacing, but it’s still working fine. It’s a bit rusty at the joints, and the shelves don’t stay up so well, but it needs replacing because I want my bathroom to look nicer, and not because it’s not working. This recent purchase was for camp.
They have improved the means of keeping the shelves up, and I think this will work a lot better than my old one. Before, there were thin rubber rings to hold the shelves up. Now, there are solid nylon almost-rings (with a slit, so they’re easier to position). The rubber band things have lost their mettle with time, but I don’t think that will happen with the new system.
The pole here comes in pieces, with a tapered end that fits into another pole. This is where the rust hits. There are plastic labels you can put around the joints to prevent the rust, but I never bothered on my old one, so I can’t comment on that. Also, you could position the shelves to hide the seams if you wanted to.
The main poles are about 1″ in diameter. Then at the top, there’s a spring inside the uppermost 1″ pole, a cap with a hole on it that fits over that, and then a 1/2″ pole that feeds inside the larger pole. The spring provides the tension. The first thing to go on my old one was the cap with the hole in it, which means that my pole at home is not as stable as it once was, though again, it still functions well. The next thing to go was the cap at the very bottom… the pole just poked right through it. But again, it still works. So to my mind, the most fallible parts of this are the plastic and rubber… and they remedied the rubber rings problem on mine.
There is one extra pole in the set, if you’re doing a tub installation. You use either the 16″ pole or the 22″ pole (I am guessing a little on lengths here). If you do a shower installation, you can use all the poles. If you need a little variance, you can cut a pole to length (if you have an appropriate saw). And if you need a lot of extra length, you can buy extra 16″ poles from the manufacturer ($6 each). I think this tub is normal, and I omitted the 16″ pole. (On first pass, I tried omitting the longer pole, but I had guessed wrong, and had to swap poles.)
Pros:
1. Affordable
2. Attractive enough
3. Durable, depending on your pickiness about the aesthetics
4. You can take it apart and put it back together again, e.g., if you’re moving.
5. I find the instructions fine, and there is a toll-free number to call for help or problems.
Cons:
1. Seams are likely to rust, but just at the edges. I believe this will happen in the first year. Again, you can position the shelves over the seams to hide this if you want, or tape over, etc.
2. Plastic caps are likely to break, but to some extent, they are cosmetic.
3. I have marked the ceiling of my home with mine… possibly because I put it up too soon after a paint job.
I was thinking that it was time that I shelled out for a high-end version of this for my bathroom at home, but since I expect to move in the next few years, and I am pleased with this purchase, I think I will get a new one of these (cheap) instead.

|bathtub “products” caddy,
Quite easy to put together and install. It stands up either in the corner of your shower stall floor to ceiling, or from the tub edge to the ceiling. The spring mechanism is little sticky, but other than that, it works quite well. Once in place, everything stays where put.
