I am so P to the O'd right now!!
First, I put the stupid thing together and then realized it was too tall. So I had to unscrew the baskets and re-adjust so I could remove one of the rods. I did this a couple times and ended up stripping the screws. Then one of the teeny tiny screws went down the bathtub drain and I had to retrieve it with a pair of tweezers. Meanwhile, the entire time I was trying to work with it, the sections kept coming apart. The thing sprang into pieces about a dozen times. I was getting so frustrated. Finally, when I got it adjusted one pole shorter, it was TOO SHORT.
ERRGGGGGGG!! I guarantee Target will not take this thing back because it's assembled and all scratched up due to my adjusting the shelves. I was determined to find another use for it. The linen closet? It looked stupid and didn't fit anyway. So then I got the bright idea of trying to put it on my vanity thinking I could put my lotions and hair products in the baskets. I stood up on the counter and tried to get the tension rod adjusted correctly. The first time, it sprang apart and the spring shot across the room. I had to get down to retrieve it and of course the poles all fell apart again. So the second time I tried it I don't even know what happened but next thing I knew my medicine jar filled with Q-tips flew off the counter and crashed onto the toilet.

Why do these things happen to you? I'm so sorry. I have a small shower caddy you can have if you want it. No assembly required. It is just sitting in a closet right now.
Thanks Jodie! Unfortunately it doesn't fit. I vaguely remembered buying one of those kind before and returning it but I couldn't remember why. But after trying yours, it's all coming back to me. They don't fit on my shower head. Thanks anyway! (Another thing for your garage sale!)
I thought I was the only one who had a hard time getting those things to work without shooting across the room! I called mine quite a few names. I was so angry with it, I left it at the apartment when I moved to my house. I have a little more space to store stuff - especially since I threw out bath products I hadn't used in about a year!
You poor thing! I'm so sorry, I'm here if you need to talk.
Who is filburt and why does he scare me?
You are funny though. And yeah, I don't have near enough stuff for it to matter and I have a lot of built in stuff around my shower but I have a lot of those "hook around my shower head" numbers that always slide down on me that irritate.
Get some sleep!!!
Ha ha! Poor Filburt. We love him. I informed him that his picture was scary and so he's going to change it. :)
Solution to your problem: reduce your hair product by two thirds and by the regular over the shower caddy. (of course I know this is not probable, due to your addiction . . .)
Sorry about all the shower drama. Thanks for the warning about the piece of HUD shower caddy.
