Love this basket! I have been looking for something to hang or attach to the front of my dog crates in the back of my SUV, to organize leashes, treats, etc. and keep my doggie items from getting thrown about while driving. This basket works perfectly and is exactly what I needed! It's a very nice quality product, too. Sturdy and seems well made. The bronze finish even matches the crate door ;) I will be ordering another one for the other crate, and maybe more for around the house as well. I am sure there are many great uses for it! Since I don't have it hanging from a cabinet door, I can't speak to that BUT I do like that it has little rubber/foam pieces on the hooks, which would protect your cabinets if used for that. I bet it would also keep it from slipping very much. (I have a similar over-the-door dish towel rack on one of my kitchen cabinets, which does NOT have the foam-lined hooks, and it falls off all the time!)
Not all over-the-cabinet-door bathroom organizers are wide enough to hold a hairdryer, and instead have "holsters" for the nozzle, and hooks for the cord to wind around. But who has time for that nonsense? It's already asking a lot for me to put my hairdryer away on a daily basis (because I'm a busy human and not a bathroom museum curator) so I want to be able to toss the dryer into a basket and go. I tried several over-the-cabinet-door styles, and ended up with this one for my hair tools, and a more shelf-like one for bottles and tubes of toiletry products.
The hooks are padded so they don't scrape your cabinetry, and they also stop the metal from making that annoying clanging sound. I don't have any problems closing the cabinet door---if you stop to examine things, of course the door isn't completely flush as it would be without a hook in the way, but the door shuts well, and it's not an eyesore.
I thought about getting another one for under the kitchen sink, but just keep in mind that since this basket is deep (front-to-back, not top-to-bottom) it might get in the way of anything you have stacked up under the sink.
This basket has worked well for holding our dishwasher tablets and roll of trash bags, because it is fairly deep, unlike the advertising photo shows. The only down side is that it won't allow the cabinet door to close all the way & thus rubs paint off from the hanger on top of the door shifting when the door shifts while closing. My hubby says he will just cut the over the door part and install hooks on the inside of the cabinet door to hang it by.
Just what I expected for under the sink additional storage. Fits nicely, lays flat against the cabinet, and holds quite a bit.
Before I begin I'm a self admitted product junkie...my bathroom contains a lot of products (hair, lotion, body cream, sugar scrubs...etc). So I was cruising Amazon on my recent "organize my bathroom" kick. I needed storage solutions of all kinds asap.
I like the over the door aspect of this...and I liked it wasn't the shiny stainless color. At first I was kind of disappointed that the arms from the top of the basket looked a little short. But the basket was nice and deep and easily holds by large size shampoo and conditioner. I quickly realized I had room for more goodies! I will upload a pic tomorrow. But I have to say this worked like a charm and I plan on ordering 2 more (one for a guest bath and one for the kitchen).
Also the cabinet door closes fine so the metal isn't too thick where the door closes funny. I honestly forget that I have it on the other side if the cabinet.

Purchased: Large size, in both bronze and white.
I bought one to try and ended up buying more. These are really useful for holding the most-used small to medium items beneath the sink within easy reach.
I hung them facing into the cabinets, as they're in cabinets where hanging them facing outside would result in bruised legs. But if that's not a concern, then depending on the thickness of the door, you could hang one inside and one slightly offset outside on each cabinet door. I don't have any drawers large enough for this size.
They don't stick out far enough to endanger the plumbing beneath the sink, their capacity is decent, and I've seen no issues with bending, warping, or breakage. The squared over-door hooks do cause cabinet doors to not close as snugly, which I expected, but I prefer this to thinner hangers that might bend or break.
I keep items as small as still-packaged toothbrushes and dental floss in these with no fall-through, but items like cotton swabs, cotton balls, pipe cleaners or twist ties should be in a bag or container so they don't drop through the grid.
I recently reorganized my bathroom because I wanted to clean up the clutter on my bathroom countertop. This basket works perfectly on the inside of my cabinet door, just beneath my sink. I have a full-size hair dryer and 2 regular size cans of hair spray in mine. So easily accessible, and there is no struggle to get them back in there when I'm done; I don't even have to take the time to wrap the cord around the hair dryer. The only thing I had to do was move some of my taller items under my sink further back to prevent the basket from knocking them over when the door is closed, but that was no problem at all. I just moved the shorter items to the front. Great product!
This basket has been a god-send! it has cleared up my above toilet storage so much that I have no idea what to put on my shelf now! This basket fits my flat iron, hair dryer (this tool does have a folding handle) and a curling wand as well as my hairbrush. The only issue I have with this basket is it doesn't allow my bathroom cabinet to fully close, but it isn't going to make or break this product. The welds seem to be holding and the paint looks like good quality.
I bought this to gain some storage in my bathroom. Living in an apartment in the city my bathroom is not very large; Adding this on the inside of my bathroom vanity cabinet gained me lots of space for various products and brushes. I also really like the finish on it. The holds are the top fit a standard size door, the only reason I would say it might not work is if you have very thin glass doors, or they are tongue and groove making them a bit thicker, otherwise you should be just fine.
it’s just-right small & it’s curved sides means i can easily reach into it from the shower seat. the bracket is for 7/8” or smaller doors but it fits sturdily in the notch on top of my shower door (which is 1-3/8”). the color is NOT satin nickel. it’s much more gray. but since my shower door is closer to antique brushed nickel, it’s a wonderful value to complement my decor. it’s painted and the construction looks of excellent quality.
