Claim:
A combination of an adjustable shelf assembly and a shower head assembly, the adjustable shelf assembly being configured to be removably mountable on the shower head assembly, the shower head assembly having a base, a head portion and a flexible tube connecting the base and the head portion, the adjustable shelf assembly comprising: an elongated frame generally extending in a first plane and having a first end and a second end, the first end of the frame being removably mounted on the base of the shower head assembly; a first shelf attached to the frame by a first fastening element and a second shelf attached to the frame by a second fastening element, the first and second fastening elements being positioned between respective first and second pairs of vertical bars of the frame and at least a portion of each of the first and second fastening elements extending in the first plane, at least a portion of the first and second shelves extending in a second plane generally perpendicular to the first plane, the first and second shelves being separately transversely movable in the second plane relative to the frame; and a third and a fourth shelf attached to the frame, at least a portion of the third and fourth shelves extending in a third plane generally parallel to and spaced beneath the second plane of the first and second shelves, the third and fourth shelves being separately transversely movable in the third plane relative to the frame, wherein the shelf assembly is in a closed position when the first and second shelves are positioned proximate to each other in the second plane and the third and fourth shelves are positioned proximate to each other in the third plane, and wherein the shelf assembly is in an open position when the first and second shelves are transversely moved away and spaced apart from each other in the second plane and when the third and fourth shelves are transversely moved away and spaced apart from each other in the third plane, such that a generally vacant space is formed between the first and second shelves and between the third and fourth shelves, and the flexible tube of the shower head assembly rests within the generally vacant space.
