A tilt-resisting shower caddy assembly comprising:
- a tilt-resisting support hook comprising a generally U-shaped upper portion and first and second downwardly extending side legs;
- a vertical support structure connected to at least one of the downwardly extending side legs supporting at least one basket;
- a snap clip engaging the generally U-shaped upper portion comprising upper curved portion and first and second legs having bulbous gripping ends, the snap clip having an interior surface defining a generally cylindrical shower pipe receiving channel having a radius R and defining a centerline height CC;
- and
- at least one threaded fastener extending from an exterior side surface to an interior side surface of at least one of the first and second downwardly extending side legs at a height H measured downward from the centerline height CC of from 0 to 60 percent of the radius R of the pipe cylindrical channel structured and arranged to extend inward from the exterior side surface to thereby resist tilting of the shower caddy assembly when installed on the shower pipe.
