Question: I know the description states 6 feet minimum height, however can anyone tell me if I can fit it in a space 2 inches shy of that? I have 5'10"
Document: Excellent item. Simple setup and built to last. Easy to adjust the height of the shelves once in place. Nothing on it to rust or peel.Just bear in mind that the minimum height of the unit is 6 feet. It wasn't really clear to me from the description, and it just fits tub to ceiling.
I received this Simplehuman Adjustable Tension Shower Caddy as a gift. The minimum height of the caddy is 6 feet and my shower measures from the top of the tub to ceiling only 5'7". I would really like to keep this caddy since I have experienced the same rusted caddies as most other reviewers have mentioned.Does anybody have a suggestion before I send it back to Amazon?
I was initially worried about the support of the main bar as I am at the very top end of the no extension bar needed range. This means the spring is not as tight. However, the concern was for naught as the rubber feet are more than sufficient to hold it in place at the springs tension.I would like to make a couple of comments on some of the negative comments I have read. The first was the shelves won't hold 2 32oz bottles and allow for pumping.
My space is between 5 and 6 feet. If the space you are intending to put this in is less than 6 feet, beware!The other con are the shelves. I found that they sloped a bit, so none of my bottles will stay upright unless I wedge them against the edge of the shelf. That's not a huge deal for me, but if it's a deal breaker for you, keep this in mind.
The shelves are firm, they do not wobble or flex at all. They locked in place quite easily, and unlock just as easily to be moved if desired. We have 6 1/2 feet between tub top and ceiling, and there is plenty of room for all three shelves and the washcloth hanger.We are very happy with this purchase and really applaud the company for a great product. This one not only lived up to expectations, but exceeded them.
Overall, this is more expensive, but it looks good, and works well.I had a little trouble putting it up, but I think that was mostly my fault. I didn't measure my space and it turned out the caddy was a bit too long. Do take it seriously when it specifies the size range it will fit. However, I just applied a hacksaw and some elbow grease and was able to make it shorter.
That led to the simplehuman again. So I decided to grit my teeth and make the big purchase for my wife for Christmas.Out of the box you can tell that it's very heavy duty and built well. One issue my wife noticed was one of the welds on one of the baskets had broken. I contacted simplehuman by email and they responded the next business day letting me know they are shipping a replacement basket free of charge.
I don't know if this matters in a full-sized walk-in shower, but in ours, it impinges a little bit on elbow room. Consider yourself warned.6 months later: it is rusting in one little spot (the soap dish). Are we disappointed? A bit.
Without the extension it didn't feel secure, but with the extension I couldn't quite jam it in. I ended up having to hack-saw off a few inches from the extension (the cut is hidden inside the main tube so isn't visible). End result is a perfect fit, super secure, but took some effort!
We love this caddy! Stays in places and hasn't rusted after 6 months. Would recommend to anyone. Also was a great price.
Answer: Yes.  You will need to remove the upper portion of support column and substitute the supposed extension piece.  I have mine mounted in a 5'6" tall location.  You will not find this modification in any Simple Human instruction.  I made no permanent modification to unit.  The spring will  not compress enough!  Don't even try!!  If you start cutting it with a hack saw, you will certainly void warranty and most likely destroy the unit.  Again, no permanent modification required!  I still have original upper arm in case I ever want to move the location of unit.  I figure this thing is going to last for years!
