InterDesign York Tension Caddy

This product looks great; the baskets are solid. The only negative is the pole; it is too small in diameter to carry the load of the baskets especially when filled with shampoo etc. It works well; just don't bump it.

I searched high and low for a tension shower caddy that would go in my modern bathroom at a decent price as many of these things are >$100. I came across this one and it was on sale for about $45 at time of purchase. There was one common complaint in the dozens of reviews I scoured that I must agree with: I can't get the right fit/amount of tension in the pole. The description states that it is adjustable from 5'-9'. Upon opening the box I saw that I had two different length tension rods which are what changes the length of the pole. As many other people reported, my shower floor-ceiling length is just in between the two poles: long tension pole makes caddy too long to install in my bathroom and the shorter rod doesn't give me enough tension. I decided to just use the shorter pole so that I could at least use the caddy. I have to admit that as long as I don't bump into the caddy it works just fine. I am quite a bit worried about having house guests and having to forewarn them that they may have to worry about the shower caddy coming down on them in the shower if they bump into it.

Though all in all it is absolutely beautiful (love the razor hooks and the wash cloth bar) -I've only been using it about a month -if I find that it begins to rust, I'll let y'all know :)

This product looks SO simple to put together, yet it took me about 3 days to complete. That's about 20 minutes a session before I got frustrated and gave up each time. Here's the rundown of what to avoid that the directions don't tell you:

1. It says to put the plastic insert rings into the shelves. This is correct. It does NOT point out that there are little lines along the plastic that lock it in place and if you accidently shove the ring in where one of those lines matches up with the screw hole -then you can't put the screw in!! You will need to drill out some of the plastic to fix this. As soon as the plastic it put into the ring, it's not coming out and it can't be rotated.

2. If you put a screw in too tight (which is probably the correct tightness when you are done) it actually bends a mark into the pole which you never see. Even though the third step is to put the screws in lightly I say skip it and do it last. It's almost impossible to put the screw in enough to stay in place but not bend the plastic. Once it's in far enough to bend the plastic you can not longer get the baskets on the pole and if you screw it in while it's on the pole -it actually bends a dent into the metal pole that you cannot see. That's good for keeping it in place, but horrible if you accidently put a dent into the top pole which includes the spring. The spring no longer easily goes into place and it cannot be fixed. Just a word of warning, just leave the screws to the last step.

3. It says you can put the baskets in any order, but keep physics in mind when putting it together. Don't put a basket too high that you can accidently 'pull' the caddy and try to put the majority of the weight (the largest basket) on the bottom. Test out different items and make sure the one that holds your scrub is high enough from the basket below it before locking it in place.

I finally tried to get organization in my bathrooms and I saw this shower caddy and looked forward to getting 2. One for each bathroom. I am so disappointed. I put up the first one and in less than 2 hours, the basket that holds the facecloth fell off of the tension bar. Now mind you that the facecloth was dry so there was no weight at all on it. When it fell of course it fell in the tub and left a big chip in the tub. It was a bit pricey and I do not mind paying if it is made with good quality. I still have yet to put up the second one.

This shower caddy became a rusty mess one month after living in a lightly used shower! This was a very expensive caddy, so I invested even more money and time trying to save it by scrubbing off rust with chemicals and coating the darn thing in boat wax, as per the suggestion of several websites. (Boat and Airplane Wax. Yep. Should come in handy after I throw the caddy out the window, sending it flying) I still can't believe I did all that...and STILL the rust came back!! I'll never purchase an InterDesign item again. It is shameful that they charge so much for something so cheaply made. I've never purchased an item like this online before. I did it to save some money. If I'd bought this in a store, the return process would've been easy.
