Reviews: Baffect 5-Pack Self Adhesive Rustproof Shower Caddy Shower Shelf Review
How is it going, everyone? Welcome back to our blog. This is Darina from Baffect team. Baffect’s items are not Ikea’s but compatible.
One or two weeks later, two young ladies of my elder sister in law will come to visit us and stay for about one or two months. And they will live in this city if they can find proper jobs. So I started to prepare some necessaries from two weeks ago, like towels, brushes, slippers... Oh yes, some shower organizers were very urgently needed because the bathroom in our guest room was a little small and there weren’t enough shelves to store shower stuff, especially all kinds of bottles of girls'.
Back to two weeks ago, first of all, I was going to buy and review the shower caddy. Okay, before I started to buy the shower caddy, I needed to think something over: When choosing the shower caddy, what things should I think about and take care with?
-Things We Should Take into Consideration-
When we decide to buy something, many conditions are needed to take into consideration. For shower caddy, there are below things that we need to think about and do:
The first thing, we should check the dimension of our shower room. The size of the shower caddy must fit the shower room of course, so the dimensions of the shower caddy we choose depend entirely on the usage. For instance, the shower room of my guest room is a little small, so I need the shower caddy to be space-saving but with large holding capacity.
The second one, we need to decide the materials of the shower caddy. Materials play a very crucial role in determining the shower baskets’ durability, strength and reliability. Steel shower baskets are most people’s preferred ones because of their heavy-duty use. However, rustproof steel caddies are often pricey. There are some other materials’ shower baskets like space aluminum, plastic and iron with vanish. If we want something more economic, we can opt for other materials like plastic to save money.
The third one, the design of the shower caddy is also one of the things that can’t be ignored. From wall-mounted to hanging and tension poles, many different designs are available in the market. Although the standard wall-mounted shelves feature the same old-school stand, there is definitely some creativity in other designs to fit in modern bathrooms. For my guest shower room, I need the ones that can be mounted on the wall. I will share the reasons why I want this design later.
The fourth one is the installation. Most installations of modern shower caddies are very easy and convenient. We should choose according to the walls and the result we want to get. For example, if I want the shower caddies to be more reliable on the wall against falls, I may choose to install the baskets with the screws.
Last but not least, the shape and design of the baskets also are the things that we need to consider. From angled to straight and round, different shapes and designs fit different shower rooms, we can pick up the ones that match our bathrooms’ aesthetics and the things we want them to hold.
With so many things considered, it’s time for me to find the right shower caddy for my shower room.
-Why I Chose Wall-mounted Shower Caddy-
From the design of shower caddy, there are many different kinds in the market like the tension poles shower caddy, free standing shower caddy, suction cup shower caddy, over door shower caddy, hanging shower caddy and adhesive wall-mounted shower caddy. I skipped the first two kinds of shower caddy directly as these two kinds of shower caddy fit big shower room and my shower room wasn’t much big and could be said a little small, and I would choose from the remaining 4 kinds of shower caddy.
However the suction cup shower caddy tend to deteriorate over time as the plastic succumbed to the chlorine, mold, mildew, minerals and soap that it’s continuously exposed to. Then the over door shower caddy can only be used in the shower room equipping with doors otherwise it will prevent the shower curtain from closing properly. And the hanging shower caddy may obstruct the shower hose, and as it is hung directly under the shower head, it can obstruct the water flow if it is too large. So finally I decided to buy the adhesive wall-mounted shower caddy, this one could meet all kinds of my needs and could fit my small shower room perfectly.
After I decided the design, I was still struggling in what kind of materials of shower caddy I should choose. Compared with plastic shower caddy, I preferred to choose the metal ones. During searching for the metal wall-mounted shower caddy, I found some other interesting and creative usage except in the shower room. Finally, I purchased two sets of adhesive wall-mounted metal shower caddy and received the packages three days after I placed the order. Now let’s get to know something about its details.
-Details-
This product is called Baffect 5-Pack Self Adhesive Rustproof Shower Caddy Shower Shelf. When I opened the packaging box, I found that all the stuffs were protected by PP bags.
Let’s take them out and see what there were inside. There were one big size shelf, one middle size shelf, two small soap holders and one two-slot toothbrush holder. Oh, there were still some accessories. We've got four large adhesive hooks, three middle size adhesives hooks, two small adhesive hooks, two small bags of screws things and an instruction sheet.
The four large adhesive hooks were for the big and middle size shelves, and two of them were the standby ones. If we want more stability, we can use the screws to fix these two shelves on the wall as there are screw holes on these two shelves.
And three middle size adhesives were for the two small holders, one of them was for back up.
Then two small adhesive hooks were for the toothbrush holder, we only needed one once and the other one was an alternative.
The dimension of the big shower basket was 32*13.7*10.4cm (12.61*5.4*4.1in). The depth of this basket was 5.8cm (2.29in).
And the dimension of the middle size shower basket was 30.5*12.1*10.1cm (12.02*4.8*3.98in). The depth was also 5.8cm(2.29in).
The dimension of the soap holder was 14*9.5*5.2cm (5.52*3.74*2.05in). The depth was 3.3cm (1.3in).
The dimension of the toothbrush holder was 26*7.3*10.5cm (10.24*2.88*4.14in). The depth was 10.2cm (4.02in).
-Features-
After we got to know the general situation of the Baffect 5-pack Self Adhesive Rustproof Shower Caddy Shower Shelf, I believe that you are also eager to know the features of this shower caddy. Let’s unveil them.
Overall, these shower baskets are all made of stout iron bars thus they are not easy to deform or break. The surfaces of the iron bars are covered by superb baking varnish, which is wear resistance, high temperature resistance and corrosion resistance. Thus these contribute to the waterproof, rustproof and scratch-proof surface of this shower caddy set. And then it will be very convenient for us to take care of these baskets.
Moreover, all the bottoms of these baskets are hollow, which consist of longitudinal and transverse iron bars. The hollow bottom design help drain water quickly and keep the baskets themselves always dry.
Besides, the round and glazed corners and build-in and lateral hooks make it very safe to use these shower baskets and we don't need to worry the scratch of the sharp corners and protruding hooks.
And all the baskets can be mounted on the wall easily with the strong transparent adhesives, which can be applied on ceramic tile, marble tile, smooth solid metal, tempered glass and smooth solid wooden wall without drilling and breaking these surfaces. Furthermore, the adhesives are waterproof and can keep strong adhesive force even when we are taking a bath.
The strong transparent adhesives cooperate with the stout iron bars baskets endowing each large and middle size baskets at least 18lbs weight capacity shown on the website. And the total weight capacity of all the baskets is at least 40lbs. Of course, the weight capacity can be larger if the big and middle size baskets are fixed by the screws.
There is one more advantage of the adhesives. It is very easy and convenient for us to install and uninstall not only the adhesives themselves but also the baskets. We don't need any tools to install the adhesives and baskets, just peel off the protective film of the adhesives and stick them to the clean and dry wall and then click the baskets in the hooks after about 24 hours. If we need to remove the adhesives, just blow them with a hair dryer then tear them off and no marks would be left.
As this Baffect Adhesive Shower Caddy is a 5-pack set and separate with each other, we can install them freely and we can adjust them as we like. The combinations and locations are also at our disposal. If we are used to brushing our teeth during a shower, we can choose to install the tooth brush holder. If not or our shower is pretty small, we can quit the tooth brush holder’s installation. So many choices, so convenient, right?
Each basket gets its own features. And now, let’s look at them separately.
Firstly, the large and middle size baskets both can be installed in two alternative ways: the adhesives or screws. Even though the adhesives are strong enough to help the baskets to contain many things, the screws can give the baskets larger weight capacity and longer stability. If we get the tools and don’t care the holes on the wall, or the walls are inapplicable for the adhesives, we can choose to fix them with the screws. For me, I will use the adhesives because I don’t get the tools.
On the back part of these two baskets, we can see that there are two holes on each basket, which are for the self-drilling screws. As to the screws things, there are two plastic expansion pipes, two screw covers and two plastic rings beside two screws in a small PP bag. The covers and screws are zinc-plated thus they are rustproof and the covers can stop the screws from exposing to the water or others. Moreover, the plastic ring can keep the screws from scratching the shower caddies and also fit the covers tightly. How thoughtful the design is!
And on the front side of the large and middle size baskets, there are 4 built-in hooks on each basket. With these hooks, we can hang the towels, the loofahs, bath sponges, shower caps, rubber bands or some other things. So nice.
In these two large and middle size baskets, we can put some large bottles of shampoo, hair conditioner and shower gel etc., because they are endowed with large enough weight capacity. And the edges of the baskets are heightened to stop the large bottles from falling off and keep it still convenient to get the things from them.
Secondly, let’s go on with the two small holders. On the right side of each small holder, there are two protruding hooks. We can also hang the loofahs, bath sponges...on them. One magical use is to hold the razors, the space between the two hooks is just right for hanging the razors. On the left side of each small holder, two unconnected iron bars can also be used to hang some small things if needed. And on these two small baskets, we can put our soap bars or something like that because they are small and shallow.
Finally, it is the toothbrush holder’s turn. In the middle of this holder, there are three separate small holes which are designed for the toothbrushes. And on the two sides of them with two large compartments, we can put the toothpastes, combs or other things like that in them. And on the two ends of this holder, there are two special and big hooks, we can hang something like tooth gargle cup, towels or hair dryer cap on them. The bottom of this holder is made of relative dense but slim iron bars, and the edges of it are pretty high. These reveal that we can put something long and thin in this holder. For me, I would use this holder both in shower room and kitchen. In terms of what and how to store, I will show you in the next part.
- Versatile Roles in My House-
After all detailed features showed, let’s witness the Baffect 5-pack Self Adhesive Rustproof Shower Caddy Shower Shelf playing versatile roles in my house together.
For my nieces' coming, I made some preparation with the shower caddies in my guest shower room. I installed a whole set of this 5-pack shower caddies with the adhesives as two girls always got many stuffs. Firstly, I wiped the wall to make sure it was clean without any dust and water spots. Then I tore off the protective films of the adhesives and attached the adhesives to the wall and squeezed out the air bubbles. Finally I hung the shower shelves to use after around 24 hours. For visual amusement, I tried many kinds of locations for a bit long time before I decided the final location of each shelf. Looking at here, this was the final layout. One thing I wanted to remind was that we needed to install these baskets relatively higher if you got kids at home. All the parents understand why I say so, right?
To test the shower baskets’ stability and weight capacity, I put many stuffs on them for about two weeks. Large bottles of shampoo, shower gel, hair conditioner and hair mask were put on the large basket. Body lotion, body oil, shave gel, shave oil and shave lotion etc. were kept on the middle size basket. Soap bars were stored in the small baskets. And some toothbrushes, toothpaste and my combs were put in the toothbrush shelf. On the hooks, I hung the loofahs, towels, rubber bands and razors etc.. These shower baskets took good use of the vertical space on the wall. Look, my shower room was small but very organized and seemed large enough at this moment!
Even for waterproof and rustproof testing, I had taken showers in this guest shower room during that period of time. The baskets could drain water fast when they got wet and stay dry. After two weeks’ usage, the baskets still stuck to the wall firmly, and there wasn’t any sign that they were going to fall. I hoped that in the following days they could stick to the wall steadily as long as possible. And no rust occurred by now.
In this narrow shower room, I wouldn’t worry about the hooks and corners scratching the clothes or skins when I passed by them, because the hooks were built-in and lateral and the corners were round and smooth. It would be safe for my nieces to use too.
Except installed on the bathroom wall, I also found some other creative usages of this shower caddy.
As the cabinet under the sink of the bathroom was filled many things, and there was only one big compartment in it, it was very hard to keep it organized with so many stuffs. To neaten this under sink cabinet and keep it organized, I even installed a middle size shelf of the other set on the inside surface of one cabinet door. Like this, all kinds of stuffs like facial skin lotion, moisture etc. could be stored orderly. And it was in right size, opening and closing the cabinet doors were not stuck at all. How creative I was! And How useful the Baffect adhesive shower caddies were! After two young ladies come, I will empty this cabinet for them, they will also be very pleased with this basket because it could keep their things organized.
In my laundry, I stuck two small shelves of the other set for the soap bars of our underclothes and trainers because I didn’t want to wash the underclothes and sneakers of my families by using the washing machine. All the under-wears and trainers needed to be cleaned by hands, which could protect the health of my families and the trainers themselves. I could hang the shoes brush and others on the hangers. My laundry was very orderly and tidy now.
And the large size shelf and toothbrush holder played the different roles in my kitchen. Many kinds of seasonings bottles were put on the large size shelf. Then the shelf took use of the vertical space on the kitchen wall and left me more room of the bench to prepare my food. So was the tooth brush holder. Many forks, spoons, even some stainless steel chopsticks were put in it, and some tongs or other things could be hung on the hooks. I really liked to use the large size shelf and toothbrush holder this way.
-How to Maintain The Shower Caddies-
After we take use of these shelves, regular maintenance checks of them are the vital and inevitable things we need to do if we want to ensure our shower caddies lasts longer.
How to do the maintenance? We can do as following steps:
No. 1, thoroughly clean our caddies with some regular cleaning spray and pour some white vinegar on them to disinfect and remove spots.
No. 2, wash the surface of the shelves with lukewarm water and then let them drain the water and keep them dry. And the last step, apply some wax on the baskets and rinse them with a soft microfibre cloth to prevent scratching.
I firmly believe that the shower caddies can stay in a good condition if you do the maintenance accordingly. I usually clean these shelves once the other week.
-Summary-
To sum up, the Baffect 5-Pack Self Adhesive Rustproof Shower Caddy Shower Shelf are well made of stout iron bars which are burly enough to hold larger capacity without deformation. And the strong adhesives can keep the shelves sticking on the wall steadily. The superb baking vanish protects the shower caddies from water, rust and high temperature. And the hollow bottom design of the shower caddies helps drain water quickly and always keep themselves dry. Two available installation ways make it possible to apply them on many different walls.
And furthermore, the shower caddies can be used to store many different things in different places, very multifunctional. I really like them. And I am betting the horse that my nieces will also like these shelves as it will be so convenient for them to hold all kinds of girls’ bottle stuffs. Hope this Baffect Shower Caddy Set can also help you.
