Deltana WBR8040 Wire Basket, 8" x 4" Rectangular

The WBR8040 is a rectangular wire basket measuring 8 inches by 4 inches, so it takes up an 8 inch run of wall with a 4 inch depth dimension. That footprint works on an open shower wall or inside a niche with at least those clear interior dimensions. Deltana lists the model size as 4 inches on the short side, so measure your niche opening before ordering if it is a tight recess.

Mounting hardware is packed with the basket. For tile or stone shower walls, plan on the appropriate masonry anchors for your substrate, since the included hardware is a general-purpose set.

It is solid brass, substrate and all, not plated zinc or steel wire. Brass does not rust, and Deltana calls out that the solid brass construction resists tarnishing, which is why it works on a wet shower wall where a steel basket would eventually bleed.

Five finishes: PVD Polished Brass, Polished Chrome, Polished Nickel, Brushed Nickel, and Oil Rubbed Bronze. That covers the common bath suites, so a property manager standardizing bathrooms can usually match existing faucets and towel bars. PVD Polished Brass is the choice if you want a brass look with a harder wearing coating.

Deltana classes the WBR8040 as commercial, and it comes out of the HD (heavy duty) Bath Baskets series in solid brass. That is the combination hospitality and multi-family buyers look for over residential-grade wire baskets.

One. The unit of measure is each, and the price shown is per basket, so order two if you are doing a double shower or a his-and-hers layout.

It is an open wire basket for shampoo and body wash bottles, sized 8 by 4 inches, though Deltana files it alongside soap dishes. If you need a flat surface for a bar of soap rather than a deep open basket, look at a solid brass soap dish instead.
