Review on Bathroom Shower Corner Shelf: Wall-Mounted 304 Stainless Steel 2 Tier Storage Shelves With Triangle Baskets, Ideal For Shower Caddy, Brushed Nickel Finish by Calvin Booker

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Don't drill into your tile!

Read reviews for a good silicon to use & wanted to help others out with the foil tape trick to hold it in place while the silicon cures. You can buy "speed tape" or foil tape at WalMart & it has many uses. Clean your tile with alcohol or a nice toxic solvent so that your mating surfaces are clean for adhesion. That's key. I also scuffed the stainless a little with a green scotch pad or sandpaper. It's wise to place your shelf in the midst of a groutline so it has some different depths to adhere to. Silicone it up & dont use so much that's it's gooping out everywhere. Place it & then use foil tape on underside to hold it in place while it cures for 6-8 hours. Leave the tape for 24 hrs & then razor blade off excess. My wife slipped in the shower & grabbed the shelf, it held while she got a large bruise on her leg from the tub. The people claiming it rusts are morons. You'll see rust in areas where a metal object of dissimilar metal metal made contact with it. That's simple galvanic corrosion that you'll nearly always get unless your razor is 24k gold. Still, it wipes away easily if addressed within a week. Great upgrade for a shower without having to remodel for extra space.

Pros
  • very well made, great look in the shower
Cons
  • Wall-mounting the shelf requires drilling into bathroom tiles or walls, potentially damaging them
