Deltana WBR1054 Rectangular Wire Basket with Shampoo Shelf, 10", Solid Brass

Solid brass, both the basket and the shelf. Deltana lists brass as the material and the substrate, not as a plating over steel or zinc, which is why it holds up to constant shower spray without the surface lifting off a base metal. That matters in a wet install more than the finish name does: a plated basket in a shower stall is a rust streak waiting to happen.

Mounting hardware ships in the box. What isn't in the box is the wall anchor decision: into tile over cement board or a stud you'll want the supplied fasteners, but a hollow tile-over-drywall wall usually needs a toggle or a tile anchor rated for the shelf load, and that's a job-site call, not a packaged item.

Two: PVD Polished Brass and Brushed Nickel. The PVD version is worth knowing about if you're matching brass trim in a wet area, since PVD is a bonded coating rather than a lacquer over raw brass. If the bathroom already has brushed nickel valves and towel bars, the Brushed Nickel basket is the match.

The WBR1054 is the 10 inch size and it adds a dedicated shampoo shelf above the basket, so tall pump bottles sit on the shelf instead of tipping over inside the wire tray. For a single shower that's normally enough. If you're stocking a two-person shower or a hotel bath with amenity bottles plus guest supplies, plan on two baskets rather than assuming one 10 inch unit carries it all.

Deltana classifies the WBR1054 as commercial, and the solid brass build is the reason it survives that duty cycle. For a property manager standardizing across units, the practical draw is that the same model number in the same finish repeats across every bathroom, so a replacement years later is a part number lookup and not a hunt for a lookalike.

A surface mounted basket like the WBR1054 goes on finished tile with mounting hardware and no wall opening, which is the only realistic option on a remodel or a retrofit where the shower is already built. A recessed niche has to be framed and waterproofed before tile goes up, so it's a new-construction decision. If the tile is already on the wall, the surface basket is your answer.

It belongs to Deltana's HD Bath Baskets series, and both offered finishes, PVD Polished Brass and Brushed Nickel, are standard Deltana bath finish names, so specifying the same finish across towel bars, robe hooks and the basket keeps one look through the room. Order the finish by name across the whole package rather than by eye.

It's a wall mounted wire shower caddy, rectangular, with a shampoo shelf built above the basket. It holds bottles and bar soap together on the shower wall rather than sitting as a small flat dish for a single bar. If you only need somewhere for one bar of soap, a plain wall mounted soap dish is the cheaper and smaller part.
