Zenith Bathstyles Tension Pole Caddie

Nice caddy, but didn't last 6 months until rust set in. I just ordered a stainless steel caddy to replace this one. Basically wasted my $$ on this one. I should have known better. Though the stainless steel caddy is nearly twice as much, I'm hoping it will last at least a few years. If you are like me and don't like buying things that don't last, I would recommend spending the extra $$ up front to get the stainless.

The "chrome" version is not in fact chrome, it is just painted with a metal colored paint. Don't know how that will effect the longevity.

Otherwise, it seems fine. Go for the cheaper white one if you do decide to buy this, as they are both just painted metal.

I researched tension pole caddies for quite a while before finding this one. It has several posts for hanging things like a shower puff and back washers as well as having holes for hanging razers. My favorite part is the draining soap dish. The tape for securing the pole does not stick, but I don't see the need for it any way.

I've had this caddy in the same location for almost 4 years now...I just removed it to recaulk the tub and was planning to replace it only because it just looks like a beat up pole with dirty plastic shelving. However, 4 years and never a drop of rust (the top/bottom of the pole are capped with heavy duty rubber caps), never a bow in the pole. The drawback is that the shelves are white plastic (blue base) and show every bit of soap scum, colored shampoos and shower gels and so on...often noticable only during the next shower, after the soap has dried into an unsighly mess. I kept/installed mine at the back of the shower/tub, therefore it was subject to more direct water which likely added to the "dirty look" on the white part. The mirror is fairly useless as it fogs up regardless of how it is pretreated....in fact, it is generally in the way unless one positions that shelf far above the next shelf. I loaded the shelves down with quite a bit as I tend to use different shampoos/conditioners and soap (rotating and such) never once has a shelf failed. The shelves are adjustable, but take care to move the shelf with the "ribbon/sealer" and you'll have no problems (the ribbon/sealer seems to act as some sort of extra friction to keep the shelves in place). The pole looks rather spotted...like lots of water spots on an old shower nozzel I guess. I suppose I ignored the "look" until I removed it to caulk as I was rather taken aback as just how "dirty" the unit appears...dirty...go figure, nothing but soap and water on a regular basis :) Still, after reading reviews of the other corner caddies available now, I think I'll just put a little elbow grease into it and reinstall it. I only gave it 4 stars because of the appearance of the plastic and the pole...but then, after 4 years, perhaps 4.5 stars is more appropriate!

This this an ok shower caddy that is nice for showers without any kind of shelving. I have mine installed in shower that is very tall and it fit with no problem. Baskets/shelves are big enough to hold whatever you need.

My one complaint is that mine has developed rust rather quickly. I think it was just 2-3 months before I noticed it. Still works fine, but doesn't look as nice. Because of the short life the paint had, I'm knocking off a couple of stars.

If you really care about something that will last, I'd go with another product. The concept is great, so something that looks like this will work well for you. Get stainless steel or something that won't rust though, if you think appearance is going to be an issue.
