I wanted something to hold a sponge and metal scrub pad so that they didn't make a mess of the back of my sink, and don't sit in a pool of dirty water. This solved the problem for me. It's large enough to hold those two items, and yes, it does stay stuck to the side of my steel sink (at least so far, after a couple of months). It doesn't rust, it's solid, and I recommend it. Update: After several months of use I'm still happy with this, although I've found that in order to keep the suction cups working well, I have to clean them once in a while. Not a lot to ask. Second update: I've been using this for a year on my stainless steel sink. About once every couple of weeks it slides down. I wash the suction cups and the part of the sink where I want it to stick and it's good for another couple of weeks. The suction cups are definitely flattening, though, and if I can find some reasonably priced replacements I'll get them. Third update: After about a year the suction cups were flat and would no longer stick. I removed them and found two small suction cups with steel hooks at the hardware store and hung the basket on the hooks. Works fine and should be good for at least another year. Read more
This scrubber holder is perfect! The suction cups grip my sink and allow my scrubbers to drain and dry quickly. It is small enough that it doesn't get in the way. It us well made, sturdy. I think it will last longer than the plastic one I had before. Read more

The media could not be loaded. This product stays in place and looks great in my sink. It’s not too big or too small and doesn’t get in the way of my dishes. It can fit two sponges. This is my second order as a gift to my mom, but I have been using this product for more than a year now and it does not rust! However, the suction gripper does get dirty and will need to be replaced. I love that this organizes my sponges inside my sink so from the outside you can’t see it. Read more
I had a plastic one that I got very cheap at my local store, but it cracked. Also, I had to wash that one all the time to keep it from looking grimy. I don't like plastic and it's a relief to no longer have to repress negative feelings every time I stand at my sink. Anyway, when I saw this little guy, for $6.99, I just threw caution to the wind and went for it. It looks much better than the plastic one, and stays much cleaner, much longer, since it is metal and open, not closed. I am so fond of this little sponge caddy, I am ordering another one for my utility sink. I did not realize that you can choose different finishes, so this time I will go for the "brushed" metal, which should look very swag. The suction cups work just fine--it sticks to the side of my stainless steel sink like a cheap suit, and if/when it does disengage, easy enough to stick right back on. (Not sure if it sticks just as well to other sink surfaces.) It holds two medium-size sponges perfectly, allowing them to drip into the sink whilst they dry and air out. A beautiful thing to behold. It is small enough that you can still use the sink and it doesn't get in the way. Will it change your life? Yes, it will make your life just a little bit better. Is it the best thing since sliced bread? Sliced bread is vastly overrated, so this is even better than sliced bread. Will it last forever? Probably not--in my experience, metal things that get wet all the time eventually rust, but it is showing NO signs of it so far. I expect it to have a long and productive life. And, when it goes to the metal scrapyard, it will be recycled into another useful object for another grateful human in a future world. Read more
I really wanted to love this iDesign sponge holder and in a lot of ways, it does the job. The matte black finish looks sleek and modern, and it blends in well with the rest of my kitchen setup. The size is just right for holding a couple of sponges and even a small scrub brush. The stainless steel frame feels sturdy, and I appreciate that it’s labeled as rust-resistant — time will tell if that holds up, but so far it hasn’t shown any signs of wear or corrosion, even after constant contact with water. That said, the biggest issue is the suction cups. They’re just not as strong or reliable as I hoped. At first, it stuck well to my stainless steel sink, but after a few days it started sliding down or falling off completely, especially when the holder has anything more than a light sponge inside. I’ve tried cleaning the surface and reattaching it, but the performance is inconsistent. I expected a little more in terms of stability. I ended up having to use extra adhesive hooks to keep it in place, which kind of defeats the purpose of using suction cups in the first place. Read more
