Materials in a damp room
Stainless steel 304 and aluminium resist rust, treated bamboo suits dry corners and plastic is cheap but can crack. Avoid coated iron, which rusts at joints. Check screws and feet for rust-proofing.
Size and stability
A stand should be stable when loaded, with a wide base or a wall-fixing strap. Typical sizes are 25 to 40 centimetres deep and 80 to 160 centimetres tall. Keep heavy items on the lowest shelf and check the weight rating per shelf.
Placement
Keep the stand away from direct shower spray, clear of the door swing and level on the floor. Leave a gap behind it for air and cleaning. Corners and the area beside the toilet often work best.
Care
Wipe shelves weekly, dry the feet and the floor beneath and lift the stand when mopping. Replace rusty or loose parts. Use rubber feet to protect tiles.
Safety
Tall stands can tip, so fix them to the wall with a strap where children are present. Keep chemicals on a high shelf. Fixed plumbing should be done by a licensed plumber.
What to check before buying

Stand or cabinet

Before you decide
Measure the space, choose a rust-proof material and test stability. A bathroom stand is a quick storage fix that needs no drilling.
