The wine glass is on the floor where you'll kick it, the phone is balanced on the edge of the sink where you can't see it, and the book gets held out of the water at an angle that makes your arm ache in four minutes. This lays a flat bamboo bridge across the tub with a slot cut for a tablet or a phone, a groove that holds a paperback open at the right angle, a recess sized for the stem of a wine glass, and a tray for a candle and the soap. Everything at chest height, nothing on the floor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Bamboo Bath Caddy laid across a filled bathtub\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0736\/6433\/1932\/files\/img9_d816d22b-8fb3-45e8-97c9-6b4f191b11f0.jpg?v=4503765350%20cm%20style=\" display: block margin-left: auto margin-right:\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe extending arms are what make it worth owning\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA fixed-width caddy is a gamble. Tubs vary by several inches between one house and the next, and a tray that's an inch short skates around every time you reach for the glass. This one has arms that slide out from under the tray and lock where you set them, with rubberised grips on the ends that sit against the outside of the tub walls. That does two things: it fits your bath specifically, and it means the caddy isn't resting on the rim so much as gripping it, so it doesn't shift when you lean on it. It also means the thing travels — move house, take it with you, reset the width in ten seconds. The bamboo itself is laminated in strips rather than cut from one board, which is the construction that stops flat panels cupping over time in a humid room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat each part is actually for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe device slot\u003c\/strong\u003e — a routed groove that holds a phone or a tablet upright and tilted back, at the angle you'd want for watching something.
