Question: What is the width? I'm hanging this over a towel bar instead of the door, so I need to make sure it fits.
Document: I was searching for quite sometime for a shower caddy that fit over the towel bar in my shower, when I saw the photo of this one hanging perfectly over the towel bar, I was relieved to finally find what I was looking for! ....but no, it actually fits horribly. Not only does it hang freely on an angle, items keep falling out of it, and just after a few days of use, it was full of RUST! The design on this definitely needs some tweaking.
The Bathstyles is really easy to put together and once you've got it set up that sucker will not move. I've accidentally banged it a few times in the shower and nothing happened. It's sturdy enough that you could use the hooks on the opposite side to hang a towel, but I've got a bar on the outside of my door that I use instead. So here's the steup: I'd say this will work for one man and one woman who share a bathroom.
I couldn't find anything remotely like this at HD. It is what we need and priced o.k. It will rust soon I'm sure but what are the alternatives?UPDATEDO NOT BUY THIS CADDY, MINE RUSTED IN 2 MONTHS
I took a chance on this since several reviews on this product complained about rust. I have not had this problem and have had the caddy about a month now. This is very good quality, heavy duty and fits nice and snug. Does not flop around. The only reason I gave it a 4 is because one rack tilts up instead of sitting level. I had my husband bend the prongs so it sits level now. I'm very pleased with my purchase.
I bought this for my shower since there is no storage except for a bar of soap. (Why home builder don't add in more storage in shower stalls doesn't make sense to me.) Anyways, I'm able to fit a good amount of items on this caddy. I have two bars of soap; my shampoo and condition; my fianc&eacute;s shampoo/condition all-in-one; body wash, face wash; and there's still room for at least 1-2 more things.
I have needed to replace my old shower caddy for YEARS but my baths have the older home towel-bar-over-the-tub setup. No one sells replacements for these in stores anymore so I was really happy to come across this one.I didn't want to keep the color and other reviews mentioned rust so I used Rustoleum base coat which made it black. Then I used Rustoleum paint to make it bronze. It looks fantastic.
Nice size. Love the soap bar holder, and razor slots. Very sturdy. Nice to finally have a caddy that has towel and rag hooks. Has everything I need!
We have an old tiled in towel bar at the foot of our bathtub/shower...useless for towels unless you want them soaked. But perfect for hanging this. Works well, good design, sturdy...holds a LOT of bottles and bath accessories. Much better than one that hangs from the shower head....those always get in the way of the shower massage hose.
I'm the only one who uses the shower so I've got plenty of room if I need to add more products. A great design feature is that the middle rack is where you put the tallest and presumably largest bottles, so it really distributes the weight of your items evenly. There's also a space to keep a bar of soap but I haven't used bars in 15 years. That area I usually use to place caps when bottles are open.
My bathroom tub and shower are right next to each other and the towel bar is clear across the bathroom above the toilet so there was no where for me to put a towel bar by my shower. This caddy solved the problem for shower storage and my need for a towel hanger.I am surprised at how much stuff I am able to get on this caddy. Currently I have about 8 bottles of different products on it. My finace and I are both able to store all of our required items on it.
Answer: At its widest point it is 12.5 inches. And more FYI- we hung ours over the shower door. Perfect inside the shower holding shampoos and all- even has slots to hold razors. On the outside of the shower it has two hooks for towels- this is the perfect accessory for shower stall type showers. We did have to spray with clear coat spray because it was starting to rust,
