These look beautiful, and are a rare find for my clawfoot tub. I put 2 of these on my thin brass vertical pipe for the shower head. They don't hold many items but you can tell by looking at the pictures. I put about 3 items in each one (4-5 if they're small bottles) and 1 order per person routinely using that shower seems appropriate to me (unless everyone shares bottles). I do think they're overpriced but so is everything that is made for clawfoot tubs. It was a challenge to figure out how to put it on the pipe but actually once I figured it out, it wasn't that difficult. Just know, if you're having a hard time, maybe you're doing it wrong; I did lol, and I don't usually put things together wrong.
