Sturdy and suction-cup free alternative to drilling holes in my tiles.
I thought clamping to the vertical rail the shower head goes on was a clever design, and it is. This is sturdy, holds three bottles of stuff and has space for my shower radio too. People who have a lot of shower supplies might want something bigger but it works for me.I'm in a hard water area, and it does get limescale marks. The wire design works well (no puddles) but is a pain to wipe down. People in soft water areas will be fine. No sign of any rust or chrome coming off after four months, so fingers crossed.Fitting was very straightforward.

Fine
Works well, but not as easy to fit as you might think, read the instructions carefully.

Great organiser, discrete and effective
The steel doesn’t rust and look shoddy. No plastic stickers m. it holds all the bottles and looks good.

Some things good, others not so good
The soap basket is a mixture of good and bad.It is an igneous design and easy to install without any tools and looks good when fitted. It is quite small but the space provided is adequate for at least two or three bottles.The instructions are graphical and easy to follow but some confusion may be caused because they cover two types of basket, a shallow one and a deeper one, but they both fit in the same way. Also, the instructions contain an assembly step numbering error, there is no step 4 but two step 5’s. The main thing to look out for during assembly is to ensure the top wire loop is pushed fully down into the top bracket.There are two main problems with basket. Although the method of fixing is novel and easy to do, the basket can easily be knocked off the riser by a light upward blow to the front edge of the basket. This lifts the top wire loop out of the top bracket, and the basket will crash into the shower tray. This can be easily avoided by applying a 3 or 4 dabs of silicone bath sealant before the top cap is clicked into place. Apply a small amount of sealer to the wire loop of the top basket and to the inside the lower bracket (see diagram). The objective is to “glue” the wire to the top bracket, not the cover. Do not apply too much or it will be very difficult to remove the basket later on, and it may have to cut off. Use the right amount and it works well. To remove the basket, take off the top cap and cut the sealer away from the wire with a scalpel, gently prise the wire upwards and out of the top bracket. Other types of adhesive could be used but silicone bath sealant is soft and can be cut away later to remove the basket. Other adhesives may prove impossible to remove.The other and bigger problem is that the Amazon listing claims it is made from stainless steel. It is not. It is chrome plated mild steel wire. The manufacturer claims the basket to be rust proof for 5 years. It may be in a dry environment, but not in the majority of showers that I have used! If this concerns you make sure that you retain the receipt and make a claim when you start to see rust.If you can accept these two problems and limitations then the basket is a good shower accessory, and does the job – but perhaps not for long if you don’t like the rust! Even with these reservations I would recommend it and just get another when it has corroded too far for your liking – they are cheap enough.If the Amazon listing had not incorrectly claimed that the basket was made from stainless steel I would have given it 4 stars. This is a serious misrepresentation and should be changed.

Rubbish quality, doesn't stay up, gone rusty, cannot get a reply from seller after 3 tries
I bought this as I cannot drill into the shower walls, it was pretty rubbish at staying up finally managed to get it stay in place with just one or 2 items in. the only main trouble is that is gone completely rusty. The guarantee is totally worthless as the seller will never answer any emails from the website to claim on it. Amazon couldn't help so stuck with a pile of rubbish and now have to find something else. This should be removed from Amazon as seller and product not fit for purpose.

Exactly what I was looking for at a reasonable price!
This was the only product I could find that looked neat, whilst also being useful and importantly, it actually fits on my shower unit! Other racks such as this can have hooks etc. that are not adjustable and that won't work with my particular unit, and I have tried suction racks in the past which are a total waste of time. This is a great product for renters or those who don't want to drill holes in their tiles. I am sure this rack won't last indefinitely, as it is basic enough quality - however it is surprisingly sturdy and I have had no problems with fit or rusting etc. to date. I'm a happy customer so far anyway!

Soap holder
This is easy to install and could be removed to clean without taking the shower rail off, at first didn't think it was sturdy, however,after using for my soap, razor, etc it's great, it looks good too, highly recommend.

Poorly engineered
This is a waste of the earth's resources. I'm disappointed I bought it and I should have weighed the negative reviews over the positive, because they're all true.I followed the installation instructions to a "t." The basket is held to the rail via rubber grommets. There's a plastic clip that is supposed to clip the rail and one of the grommet setups together, but it does nothing. So naturally the principle of gravity means that the grommets are not enough, so if I put something on the basket like, for example, filled glass bottles of shampoo and conditioner, it destabilizes the basket so that it slides down and tilts off the rail, and now I'm left with a glassy mess to clean up from my tub.This plastic clip is supposed to be metal and snap onto the rail so that it holds everything snugly together. I'd pay more money for this item if that clip was a higher quality material.If you're looking for a storage solution for a clawfoot tub, don't go with this one.

Trop petit
Je ne peux même pas y déposer un Tahiti douche tellement il est petit. N'a non plus pas de serrage pour l'empêcher de glisser le long de la barre douche. Très mauvais concept.

A éviter !
Le panier se détache au moindre contact. Mauvaise fixation !

Facil de usar
Facil de instalar y de usar, genial si no quieres taladrar las racholas, aguanta peso y es firme y estable.
