I built removable slotted walnut panels round my tub for storage (not as posh as it sounds, I used Molger bench tops), and I store big bottles behind them - very useful, even if they do get a bit spidery.
For those who don't have a combo tub/shower I can see how the first one would be particularily practical since hanging things on walls would seem odd if there's no shower. Really though the rest are designed for a high end bathroom - especially the drawer one since there needs to be quite a bit of clearance in front of the tub in order for pull-out drawers to be at all practical. Cute ideas though that I'd never thought of
