Stylish, but not up to Simple Human's functional standards
I had been eyeing this shower caddy for awhile after my previous one began to rust. Other Simple Human products, particularly their garbage cans, were of excellent design. This caddy is beautiful, however it falls short of the expectations:
PICTURES ARE MISLEADING: Note that the press photos do NOT have a shower head present. Depending on the placement of your shower head, your shampoo bottles may interfere with the water flow. There isn't enough vertical adjustment available to completely mitigate this.
STABILITY: Everyone one knows you must have three points of contact to create a plane and a stable surface. This caddy has two: 1 clamp at the top, and 1 suction cup at the bottom, and they are basically in the same vertical line. That means that the shelves act as levers and rotate the entire caddy so the shelves bang against the back of the wall. The suction cup at the base does not have a stopper to keep it away from the wall -- it keeps it from swinging wildly, but not rocking.
AVAILABLE SPACE: If you are like me, you share a shower with a significant other or room mate. This caddy only has enough room for 1 bar of soap and short bottles. I need room for at least 4 TALL bottles, 1-2 bars of soap, 2 shower gels scrunchies, etc. This caddy is good for 1 person, but no more than 1.
RAZOR HOLDER: It is not entirely compatible with Gillette Fusion razors. You can jerry-rig it to hold the razor from falling, but it is precarious and should be better.
SUMMARY: I won't return it, but I will also not suggest that anyone get it either. Simple Human can do so much better...
