Is it fragile? I would place it in my gym bag and transport to the shower there. The suction cup hanger that I would use makes it vulnerable to fall

It has a thick plastic backing on it, but I can't guarantee it wouldn't break if it fell and hit hard tile.

Sorry I wasn't clearer. There is a thin metallic sheet that is backed with plastic. I can't tell if it is actually metal or just a metallic-looking plastic. It is VERY lightweight, so if suction cups work at your gym, you should be good. They don't work on our tile, so my husband put it up more permanently.

I have knocked it down in my shower twice and it has not broke on me yet! :)

Hello Lee Beck,The material for the fogless shower mirror is PC (polycarbonate) + PS (polystyrene). It will definitely NOT shatter as it is NOT glass. It is essentially a very hard plastic. I hope this information answers your question.JoyceCustomer RelationsCassani Company

I honestly don't know what would happen with taking it on and off. My husband put his up in the shower and it's still firmly stuck since Christmas. It doesn't seem fragile as far as construction. I would say try it!

If you lay it down carefully it won't break but may be mal-adjusted when you go to use it. I lean the other side against a wall. Mine fell over in soft dirt and it survived with nothing but a bent screw. Keep in mind that this is so inexpensive that you can really afford to get a spare. It's is hands down the best mirror I have ever used. Fragile? Yes, but works so well!! You could always get some rebar and build a cage for it if you treat your bike like junk. That would save it.

Mine stayed up for 13 months in a tiled shower before it fell and broke today :( One of the tiny plastic ball joints snapped in the fall, so it's done. Surprisingly, the metal tubing started to show rust after only two months. And I live in Phoenix. Nice an dry here. Anyway, not sure why mine fell. It was the second time but the first fall didn't break anything.

Mine does not fall from the shower wall because every 2 months, I take the suction cup holder off, clean the shower wall off and the holder, make sure all surfaces are dry and then put the holder back on the shower wall. Hope this will help you.

I use 2 of these on the outside of a fold-down shower bench that attaches to the wall. I weigh about 190 and have felt extremely safe. There is a locking mechanism at the top where the leg screws into the shower bench so I can fold the leg up. The locking mechanism is extremely sturdy and keeps the leg from buckling.

Not very sturdy. It is stable, but I thought that if something heavy (like my son's backpack) dropped on it, then it would break. I bought a bamboo shoe rack and put this in my son's closet where it was less likely that he or the dog would crash into it and break it. It is a very good price.

I believe it would be ok as long as the top of the hanger doesn't go directly onto the glass, it might scratch it. But I do think it would be loose. I don't have glass shower doors or I would check it out.

I agree with the comments that it is for stabalizing your balance. It is not meant to support a person's full weight. My wife sits on a chair in the shower/tub and uses it to help her sit down and get up after her lower g.i. surgery. It works great if you have a smooth unbroken surface like tile to stick the cups to. Easy to place as the snaps just close on each cup and provide suction. My wife loves it and wants me to get one for my 89 yr. old mother's shower... Highly recommend it for that.

No. Not sturdy enough. I just use it in a closet for storing bath products, etc.

No, it shouldn't fall over unless it is hit hard or something, it is a very stable rack

I use this to hang up wet towels after I've used them to shower with and I have not found any damage to the racks or items. I believe it is safe to use for the purposes you have in mind!

It has rubber feet on it. But how stable it would be in a shower I don't know. Would think best to have it braced up against something. Be careful.

I've had mine up for a few months now and have had NO slip/fall issues withe the shower rod. I even have a pocketed liner with a few lite items & still no issues!

I can't respond to the question of ordering suction cups since I'm just another consumer - although you can probably find those at a hardware store or JoAnn's or Beverly's. But I have the same item and the suction cups DO come loose at times, but I can push them back on. As long as you are using the plastic half ring that fits over the shower and THEN are resting the rack in the grove in the ring (and are not resting it directly on the metal shower pipe) then it won't fall off. Hope this helps.

I gave it to my daughter for her child. It is on her tub wall. Doesn't fall. Can't really help ya. My daughter lives 6 hours away from me.

You might be able to use a suction cup, but I didn't. I had it over a shower head, the pipe was a little larger so it didn't fit perfectly, but never slid down. And no never slipped over the shower head.

Yes, but it's not super sturdy. So if it won't get bumped into, I think you'd be fine.
