I think it is the first time I've seen a printed instruction manual making the whole process much, much more confusing than just figuring it out by myself. Quite a feat of strength when you think about it.
False advertisement on the box: Easy assembly in 10 minutes, without mentioning the possibility of needing a handsaw to cut the tube to make it fit in your tub...
I recently moved and the extra short rod was too long. This is the first I've heard of cutting it. Like I have a metal rod cutter just laying around in my apartment! I finally figured out the solution. My tension shower caddy (different brand) came with three 3" long plastic spacers that you can use in place of the short rod. You drop them down the rod where the spring is. Use however many you need to get the length to install the caddy. I quit putting the baskets on until I was up to properly place the shower caddy. I got tired of fighting with the baskets moving around. Hope that helps someone who is having trouble assembling their shower caddy.
I'm honestly relieved i'm not the only one struggling with this... I was worried there for a minute lol it took me like 45+ minutes until I finally caved and asked for my dad's help - we didn't use the shortest tampered in - you need to manhandle the skinniest pole down against the spring inside of the big straight tube - use spacers as needed down the straight tube with the spring before shoving the skinniest pole down against the spring - at that point go to wherever you're placing this s.o.b. and compress the spring down to the necessary height then voila
@@onlydcon2956hey, I’m glad I could help! I was so confused when this popped up in my notifications, but then whenever I clicked on the video… it all came back to me! 😅😂 I had completely forgotten about this headache, and I don’t remember writing this comment but I’m glad I did! 🤙🏽
I still don't have it together after 2 hours. Instructions don't mention where the spacers go. I threw them inside the spring tube. It seems they belong in there. The pole is wobbly and the ring that secures the rod that is with the rod with spring will not fit. It's a disaster. This thing is going back to Amazon.
Keep going through you tube until you find the exact one you got,i found a teen that explained it perfect,even though one of my shelves were already broke,and i can't cut a pole in have so it won't be wobbly, 🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️
No. Very bad design! It doesn't work! I have the straight pole with spring inside. How does go into the other pole when it's not tapered? It's just straight end on another straight end. I tried to insert the spring into the straight end, but the spring went right through when I installed pushed the tension pole. Nothing holds it to create tension on that pole. What the heck?!? Then I tried putting the spring it on a tapered end, same thing. Nothing to create tension to the spring to hold the thing up!!! I don't think these guys even tried to assemble their piece of junk themselves. They just thought it was a good idea, put it in a box, sold it and let us figure this junk for ourselves. Anyway, it worked for them, they made money. I didn't give up. I worked on this beast of a project. Tweaked the opening to create tension on the spring. I assembled it and tried to mount it. It did not work on the shower, too short, add another rod, too long. I tried to mount it in the bathtub. That did not fit either. I don't have a machine to cut metal. Why should I have to cut it? I assumed they put it together and tried it on their tubs/showers. It should fit, right? NO! IT DID NOT FIT ANY SHOWERS OR TUBS AT ALL. It fit in the garbage can once it was disassembled. This was not a "10 minute" project, it took a few hours tweaking here and there. It was a total failure and waste of time. My body hurts with all the contorting I had to put it through trying to get this thing to work. Need wine and a good movie.
@@brandonm1653 dont feel bad after i went through he.. with that,i put my over the toilet shelves together in my new place to find out the broad on the bottom that makes it sturdy ,has a water knob in the way RIGHT WHERE THE HOLES ARE TO PUT IT! FIRST THE BROKEN BATHTUB THING NOW THIS,I FEEL LIKE THAT TEEN ON YOU TUBE ( WHOSE DAD GAVE UP SOUNDED LIKE MAYBE HE WAS FRUSTRATED ) , THAT FINALLY SHOWED ME HOW TO GET MINE TOGETHER ,THIS TEENAGER PUT HIS RIGHT TOGETHER,SMARTY PANTS 🙂
Took me 10 minutes to assemble. I am 80 years old, not as strong as I was as a younger woman but I managed to compress the tension spring and lift it into position. I was lucky it fit with the two longer bars, no need to run to the basement and use the chop saw. Great product.
I had one just like this for about 8 years. I don't recall having much trouble installing it, but I have a full height shower stall, so I used all the pieces. I had been noticing small specks of dark matter emerging around the bottom of the pole for the last year, but I could just rinse them away with the shower head. Well, the other day I started to shower and was rinsing my hair and I suddenly got hit in the back by something and heard all my soaps and supplies hit the deck. After I could open my eyes, I saw the mess of stuff all over the shower floor. There was rust everywhere. The pole had been rusting inside and finally fell apart. I cleaned up the whole mess and threw it away. I'm going with aluminum now.
Oh my God, I struggled with this for two days. I also open the package and took the bars out of the bags. It would’ve been. I said they put little stickers on each piece to label them. I thought it would be pretty simple to figure out it would’ve been nice. Had they told which order to put the damn polls in I kept trying to put the spring with the pole in the middle, and then I finally realized that the little skinny pole is the one that goes on the top. Once I figure that out which would explain why one of the stoppers was thicker and would only fit the skinny bowl or the small end of the tapered pole I finally figured out it went on the top, so I took it to the shower and I only use the one spacer like it said I would need, but it was way too much so once I took the bring out and pulled the one stopper out and just use the spring because I was going off the shelf on the bathtub I got it in there although I was afraid I was going to put a hole through the sheet rock, there was a lot of tension, but it went in. It does bow out just a tiny bit, but to counteract that I push the stopper at the top to the very corner of the ceiling, now if I can just figure out where the tape went so I can tape the joints I’ll be done. It seems the house has eaten a tape. Honestly, I was ready to throw this back in the box and send it back every video I found just said put the polls together didn’t say which one went first lol.
Oh hey there Ben, just wanted to let you know that your product is a complete ripoff and you intentionally deceive customers into buying your product when they don't know that the instructions require them to cut through a solid metal tube to make their pole the right length. Cheers!
ARE YOU KIDDING ME I HAVE THE SAME SIZE AND MINE WOULDNT FIT MY CORNER,I HAD TO TAKE A POLE OUT AND NOW ITS WOBBLY, IT WOULD NOT GO INTO THE CORNER WITH ALL THE POLES,HOW DID HE DO THAT MINES 81"
I just opened the box. Ive bought one before had it up in 5 minutes. I pulled them out of the bag not realizing the labels are on the bag. I've assembled alot of home items this is stupid im sending it back just because of the design.
My shelfing cracked and its g.j oing to smash down as soon as someone puts a little something on that one shelf,that happened because the one i have is a bit different and it says go ahead and put your shelves on you can move them where you want after its all together. WELL I COULDN'T I TRIED AND IT BROKE A PIECE OFF IT! IM SO MAD ,I JUST MOVED HERE AND I CANT AFORD TO GET ANOTHER,US I GOT INTO A CAR ACCIDENT SOME LADY WITHOUT !!!!! INSURANCE BASHED INTO THE BACK OF MY CAR AND I ALREADY HAD AND HAVE A CRIPPLING DISEASE NOW IM IN VERY BAD SHAPE,IM HUTING SO BAD I HAVEN'T CRIED FROM PAIN THIS BAD SINCE I WAS CRIPPLED BEDRIDDEN 20 YEARS AGO,AT ALMOST 60 YEARS OLD IM ASSUMING THE FIGHTS NOT GOING TO HAPPENED THIS TIME ,SHE RAMMED INTO THE BACK OF MY CAR SO hard i jad to get my brakes replaced from the car moving forward so far in park,like driving with the emergency brakes on!

This video is over simplified and the written instructions are terrible and confusing. I had high hopes I would be able to assemble after watching this. But no. Back in the box it goes. 😤
This thing is a nightmare to assemble, instructions are terrible ! And after finally getting it together, it bends outward horrible. I will have to modify / re-design to make it acceptable.
Just so everyone knows, the written instructions for this which just got delivered gives 7 size ranges. FOUR out of the SEVEN (so more than half) require you 'cut X number of inches" from one of the tubes. This is RIDICULOUS. Sorry, but this may have to go back. Very disappointed. I have no 'jigsaw' or hacksaw to cut this with and NEVER would have even considered purchasing it if I had known about this serious design flaw. Don't tell me it's not needed for 'standard' areas when MOST of the heights require cutting the metal pipes somehow someway. God only knows how.
I think it is the first time I've seen a printed instruction manual making the whole process much, much more confusing than just figuring it out by myself. Quite a feat of strength when you think about it.

Same that’s bs
seriously. I'm annoyed about that
That's only for non-standard sizes
Yeah kind of finding out the hard way right now about this part going to go raid the junk drawer and see what I can find
Yeah bastards

Why not use the letter the poles are called... A B C D E
Would make more sense
Doesn't matter if there to long
Thank you,awesome visual.watched it twice and realized you instructed there is one rod with the spring inside
THANK YOU! I pulled poles out of bags with LETTER labeling....aaahhh! This was more helpful than the directions👍

cut?? with what?
with a handsaw
Smh
Lol your teeth I guess smh
EXACTLY THATS WHAT I SAID IM ALMOST 60 I HAVE NOTHING TO CUT THIS POLE IN HALF !

Thank you so much...this has been driving me nutty for hours!
this took me 2 1/2 hours
I get it,mine was worse,its a bit different and its 81 " but my bars were WAY WAY TO LONG,i took 1 out and it's wobbly now eeeeek

Thanks for this video! made it easier than I thought it would be.
wher is the spring
the spring is inside one of the tubes. My was but I haven't been able to put it together.
My spring keeps sliding through the poles to the bottom, help please!?
took 10 min following the video. only because i put the shelves on backwards when i wasnt paying attention.
I broke the shelf 🤷♀️
The spring just drops all the way in the bottom, tf does the spring do?????????

Maybe slower. Problem is the clear pieces not holding the basket properly
I dont ahve a tension rod cutter 😫
My list of parts only shows 2 end caps not 3 .. so this is confusing

Definitely not an issue
@Shanda Maree Wrong. Most of the sizes require a freaking hacksaw to make this fit. DISASTER.

I gave up after 30 min / the pole broke
I still can't do it🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
Went together easy peasy, thanks.
Stop branging missy 😏🙂
The best way to do this is figure it out yourself the instructions are horrible and the videos just help a little
Super frustrating “instructions”, as nothing is even labeled, or described properly. The video helped.
Thank you for the tutorial. I was able to put it together easily after watching this video. #UA-camRocks
This video is over simplified and the written instructions are terrible and confusing. I had high hopes I would be able to assemble after watching this. But no. Back in the box it goes. 😤
Dang...The one I got was too short
Spent 90 min and I didn’t even fit. So came to UA-cam and now I gotta handsaw this shit! No thank you! Refund
