Aquala Bathtub Tray Extendable Caddy with Book Stand and Wine Glass Holder, Natural

Just bought this item and tried it out the first night. Simple as pie to figure out, and although you can't see it in the picture, there is a clear rubberized coating on the metal arms to ensure that the caddy stays in place. It is a smidge more expensive than other caddies, but it is sturdily constructed and looks great. Quality and looks - can't beat that. The first thing I noticed is that the caddy is secure, it's beautiful in almost any decor, and works well. I even pushed down a little on it to see how strong it was and it didn't budge. I used it with my Kindle (put it in a ziploc bag first! Kindles don't like water!) and although the angle was a little steep, it was definitely workable. I didn't do a glass of wine, but a cup fits perfectly on the left side. Yeah, I know that's for the soap, but it was great for a glass of soda! I used the wine glass side to hold my chocolate! I didn't feel that it would tip over or that any of my precious items (Kindle, chocolate, drink - in that order) were in danger of falling into the drink. My only criticism - and this is SUCH a minor gripe - is that I wish the arms on either side would lock in place, because when you move the caddy out of the bathtub, the arms tend to slide out and it can be a little cumbersome to move it from place to place. Otherwise I am thrilled with this purchase. I looked at the rack-type caddies, and was really thinking about getting those. But for $10 more, I think I made the right decision!

I'm just replacing this bath caddy that I bought 10 years ago. It's very sturdy and the only reason I'm replacing it is one of the bars doesn't slide anymore because of rust. I like that you can slide a stemmed glass in the cup holder which is way more sturdy than just setting it on the caddy. The book or tablet holder holds your book or tablet at a helpful angle and you can use the grooves to change the angel. There's also another area on the left that you can put hair mask or whatever. There's a lot of room on the tray and the bars slide out to accommodate any size tub, even my deep soaking one which is fairly wide. This is a very well made product.

giving this 3 stars because I tried 2 different wine glasses and neither fit in the space provided and it was the main reason I ordered this particular bathtub caddy. I am keeping however because a champagne flute I had fit so I can take a glass of wine in the tub, even if the glass is not an ACTUAL wine glass. love the rubber over the metal and it fit perfectly on my claw foot tub, seems sturdy enough The pics of the glasses that wouldn't fit were pushed in as far as I could push them before I took the picture, the pic of the champagne flute shows how it was the only one to slide in all the way and the caddy was able to safely hold THAT glass! updated to 5 stars for the following: found a glass to fit in the wine holder just took a bit of shopping/searching not all glasses are equal love the fact that it is not made of metal(so no water spots or possibility of rusting) really loving the bamboo, and what metal parts there are have a vinyl coating to protect the tub warning: put the thing toward the end of the tub away from you if you sit up your knees might hit it and knock everything off. has nothing to do with the product itself just a personal note :) also love that i can (VERY GENTLY) rest my foot on it while i shave my legs. DO NOT put your full weight it will not hold and is not intended for this use, but i'm a grown up and it has made shaving a bit easier for me

This adds a nice touch to our soaking tub. I'm not sure how practical it is when you need to take if off the tub to climb in and then reach over and put this platform back on top of the tub. Frankly, I don't use it for the handling challenges. But for decoration and with a couple of trinkets on it, it adds to the ambiance of the soaking tub. I will acknowledge the quality and ease of assembly.

This tray 'just works' like you expect for book reading, without the anxiety that a cheaper tray brings. It seems like the product's designers used it and made sure it works like you'd want it to. (Background: I had used a cheaper wire-framed tray that cost around $20. It was fine for holding a soap dish, but too unstable for books. A couple of times, I dunked my books after tapping that tray with my knee or elbow.) Pros: -Sturdy and heavy -- the protruding metal hooks are solid, with little 'play' between it and the caddy base (besides sliding in and out or up and down as needed). This alone is worth the $50 price. With cheaper trays, all the wiggling and bending of the protruding hooks make everything less secure, so that a slight knock from your knee sends your book into the water. -The rubber coating of the metal hooks forms a nice high-friction contact with the bathtub wall. This reduces slippage (another annoyance with the cheaper trays) and makes the caddy more sturdy and secure. -Only an inch in height. This allows you increase the water level without the bottom of the tray touching water, higher than you could get with a deeper tray. -The book holder works. It holds up magazines and hardcover books, and they don't want to fall down. -The wine glass holder actually works! Wasn't expecting much here, but it actually holds stemmed glasses securely. (Note: it won't hold stemmed glasses with bases wider than 3 and 3/4 inches.) -Attractive. This doesn't really come out in the pictures, but in person it looks nice. Cons: -Expensive, at least compared to the $10 or $20 wire caddies. -May require maintenance, given that it's made of wood. (Note: a year and a half after purchase, and with no maintenance on my part, it still looks new. No signs of aging, cracking, or splitting.) -If you have a very deep tub (e.g. a clawfoot with high walls), this caddy may rest too high on the walls for book reading.

Produit très bien fini et très bien pensé. Le plateau est robuste, tout en proposant un design soigné et ergonomique. Le nouveau compagnon de nos bains.

長風呂が楽しくなりました。 軽くはないのでとても安定しています。 使い始めたばかりですが、今のところ、使った後しっかり水切りしてるのでカビは生えてません。 見た目もとても気に入ってます。

Ce plateau est exactement tel que décrit. Je l’utilise depuis 1 an et il a gardé sa forme et sa couleur d origine. Très bon achat

Super nice quality, my wife really likes to use it, quite stable

Nonostante abbia ricevuto il prodotto con 3 settimane di ritardo (problemi del corriere che non riusciva a trovare casa mia!). Il prodotto in se è come in foto. Davvero molto carino. L'appoggio per i libri è leggermente troppo inclinato ma basta mettere uno spessorino ed è perfetto!
