Like many in Los Angeles, we've got a stall shower as well as a bathtub. While it's one of the "perks" of living in Los Angeles, we've got no ledges in the stall to store our stuff so our stuff accumulates on the shower floor. We're trying to keep our shower picture perfect (after all, it's the setting for some of the pix we take for this site). So, off to scour the web and the stores for a caddy to corral all the necessities of cleanliness...
The Mercer Bath System from Pottery Barn, also seen in the opening picture, allows flexibility. We love that you can change out items as your needs and the seasons change. Great for families, roommates or couples who like to keep their stuff separate.
Regent Tension Pole Shower Caddy from the Container Store. For the product happy. It's adjustable to fit many different sizes shower stalls.
Umbra Bask Shower Caddy. A flexible take on the over-the-showerhead model, it’s especially good for those who tend to amass tiny toiletry samples.
When we have need of a well-designed household tool, OXO is often the first line we look too. Their Oxo Shower Caddy, a redesigned update on the standard over the showerhead model, is no exception, with places to hang razors and washcloths, it slides so that the shelves can hold those big, awkwardly sized bottles of shampoo, conditioner and body gel.

After the cheaper versions rusted in less than 2 weeks.... I can heartily recommend another Simple Human caddy http://www.simplehuman.com/products/bathroom-organization/shower-caddies/tension-shower-caddy.html
Even my boyfriend who gasped at the price tag deemed it 'worth every penny' when it came. Easily 10x sturdier than any other similar products

I would highly suggest the tension pole caddy. It holds a lot of weight and never falls.

I like the Oxo one; we have it, and it drains well.
I hate! hate! hate!!! those ones with the metal wires on the bottoms of the compartments. Shampoo and other bottles are constantly falling over. And the wires rust with all that soap on them.

I have the shower liner with the pockets in it, which I love. The bottles are hidden behind my shower curtain, and it keeps everything off of the sides of the tub.

I bought one that hangs on the showerhead a few years ago, and took it with me when I moved 2 1/2 yrs ago. It used to fall down once in a while in my old apt. because it was held up by suction cups that failed, but now it has the showerhead that's meant for a clawfoot tub with a surrounding curtain, which means it's braced (no I don't have the clawfoot tub but I have a very deep tub)! It's hardly even rusted on the bottom, and I can prop my shampoos to dispense upside-down. I'll be very sad when it fails eventually, because I can't find the design and I don't prefer any newer similar ones. I may have it close to 6 years now. That's a long time for a shower caddy, a cheap ordinary one!
