Smedbo Sideline Shower Shelf Polished Stainless Steel 250 mm

A Proper Shelf. In the Shower. Finally.

The Smedbo Sideline DK5001 is not a basket. It is a shelf — a solid, flat-surface polished stainless steel platform with a tall back panel and a rounded front lip, designed to sit on the wall of your shower and hold products the way a shelf should: cleanly, stably, and without anything falling through the base. At 250 mm wide and 112 mm deep, it holds a full row of bottles in a single organised line. The single drainage slot along the centre is the only concession to the shower environment — everything else is solid, mirror-bright stainless steel.

The DK5001 can be screw-fixed using the supplied fixings, or glued to the wall using the Smedbo XTRA i.Composite GlueMix adhesive kit (available separately) — making it a genuinely drill-free option for bathrooms where tile drilling is not desirable. The back panel sits flush against the wall, the front lip keeps products from sliding off, and the polished stainless steel finish means no rust, no corrosion, and a 10-year warranty to back it up.

How to Use

Fix the shelf to the shower wall using the supplied screw fixings, or bond it directly to the wall using the Smedbo XTRA i.Composite GlueMix adhesive kit (available separately — sufficient for up to four mounts). For glue-fixing, clean the wall surface thoroughly to remove dust, grease, and moisture before application, and allow the adhesive to cure fully before loading the shelf. Position at a comfortable height within the shower. Place shampoo, conditioner, and shower products on the flat surface — the front lip keeps everything in place. The drainage slot allows water to run off freely. Wipe the stainless steel surface regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove soap residue and water marks. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads. Dry after cleaning to prevent limescale build-up in hard water areas.

Screw-Fix or Glue-Fix — Which Is Right for You?

The DK5001 can be installed either way. Screw-fixing into the wall provides the most permanent and load-bearing installation and is recommended for heavier loads or high-traffic showers. Glue-fixing using the Smedbo XTRA i.Composite GlueMix is ideal for bathrooms where drilling into tiles is not desirable — no holes, no tile damage, and a clean finish. Always follow the fitting instructions for whichever method you choose.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Smedbo Sideline DK5001?
It is a wall-mounted shower shelf in polished stainless steel, part of the Smedbo Sideline collection. It features a solid flat surface with a tall back panel and rounded front lip, and can be fixed to the wall by screwing or gluing — no basket, no open wire, just a proper shelf.

Can the DK5001 be glued rather than screwed?
Yes — the DK5001 can be fixed using the Smedbo XTRA i.Composite GlueMix adhesive kit, available separately. This makes it a drill-free installation option suitable for bathrooms where tile drilling is not desirable. Always follow the fitting instructions and allow the adhesive to cure fully before loading the shelf.

Is the DK5001 stainless steel or chrome-plated brass?
The DK5001 is polished stainless steel — not brass with a chrome plating. This distinguishes it from the brass-and-chrome Sideline DK1, DK2, and DK3 series baskets. Stainless steel is inherently corrosion-resistant and will not rust in shower environments.

What are the dimensions of the DK5001?
The shelf is 250 mm wide and 112 mm deep, with a back panel height of 47 mm and a front lip height of 22 mm. It weighs 1.02 kg.

Will the stainless steel finish rust or tarnish in a shower?
No. Polished stainless steel is inherently corrosion-resistant and will not rust, tarnish, or corrode with normal use in a shower environment. The DK5001 is backed by a 10-year manufacturer's warranty.

How do I clean the DK5001?
Wipe with a soft, damp cloth to remove soap residue and water marks. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which can scratch the polished surface. Dry after cleaning to prevent limescale build-up in hard water areas.

What is the difference between this shelf and the Sideline DK3 baskets?
The DK5001 is a solid flat shelf in polished stainless steel with no open wire or perforations — just a clean, flat surface with a front lip and a single drainage slot. The Sideline DK3 baskets are solid brass with a chrome finish and feature perforated tray floors. The DK5001 also offers a glue-fix option; the DK3 wall baskets are screw-fixed only.
