Smedbo Sideline Angular Shower Basket Polished Chrome 250 mm

Sharp Corners. Flat Bar. A Different Kind of Presence.

The Smedbo Sideline DK2001 is not simply a wider version of the DK1 basket — it is a fundamentally different design. Where the DK1 series uses slender round wire and softly curved corners, the DK2001 is built from flat, square-section bar stock with sharp 90° corners and perfectly vertical sides. The result is a basket with a more architectural, rectilinear character — heavier in visual weight, more defined in profile, and better suited to bathrooms that favour bold, structured fittings over lighter, more delicate ones. At 250 mm wide, it holds a full complement of shower products and will never rust, backed by a 10-year warranty.

The top rail and side frame are formed from flat, square-section brass bar — giving the basket its crisp, angular silhouette. The wall mounting posts are spherical dome caps, compact and rounded, providing a deliberate contrast to the sharp geometry of the basket itself. The internal wires of the basket floor remain round in section, allowing water to drain freely and air to circulate, while the outer frame commands the wall with quiet authority.

How to Use

Fix the basket to the wall of your shower enclosure using the concealed fixing system — suitable for tiled walls, solid walls, and stud walls with appropriate fixings. Position at a comfortable height within the shower. The open wire base drains water naturally after each use. Wipe regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove soap residue and water marks. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads. Rinse after cleaning and dry to prevent limescale build-up in hard water areas.

DK1 vs DK2 — Which Series Is Right for You?

The DK1 series uses round wire and softly curved corners for a lighter, more understated look. The DK2 series uses flat square bar and sharp right angles for a stronger, more architectural statement. Both are crafted from solid brass, finished in polished chrome, and built to the same Sideline standard — the choice comes down to the aesthetic your bathroom calls for.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Smedbo Sideline DK2001?
It is a wall-mounted shower basket in polished chrome on solid brass, part of the Smedbo Sideline DK2 collection. It is distinguished by its flat square-section bar frame with sharp 90° corners, giving it a more architectural, rectilinear character than the round-wire DK1 series.

How does the DK2001 differ from the DK1 series baskets?
The DK2001 uses flat, square-section bar stock with sharp 90° corners and perfectly vertical sides, creating a stronger, more angular visual profile. The DK1 series (DK1001, DK1002) uses slender round wire with softly curved corners for a lighter, more understated look. Both are solid brass with polished chrome finish and built to the same standard.

What are the dimensions of the DK2001?
The basket is 60 mm in height, 250 mm wide, and 110 mm deep — wide enough to hold a full complement of shower products comfortably.

Will the chrome finish rust in a shower environment?
No. The basket is constructed from solid brass with a polished chrome finish — both materials are inherently corrosion-resistant and designed for long-term use in high-humidity shower environments. It will not rust, tarnish, or corrode with normal use.

How is the DK2001 fixed to the wall?
The basket uses a concealed fixing system with spherical dome mounting caps, meaning no visible screws on the wall or tile surface. It is suitable for tiled walls, solid walls, and stud walls with appropriate fixings. Always refer to the fitting instructions supplied with the product.

Is this basket suitable for a wet room?
Yes — the solid brass construction and polished chrome finish make the DK2001 well-suited to wet room environments. The open wire base drains freely and the materials resist corrosion even with prolonged water contact.

How do I clean the polished chrome finish?
Wipe with a soft, damp cloth to remove soap residue and water marks. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads. Rinse and dry thoroughly after cleaning to prevent limescale build-up in hard water areas.
