Abstract
A shower caddy bucket having a rotatable standoff for positioning a bottom portion of the bucket away from the wall to which the caddy is mounted. The bucket has a tapered configuration with a narrower bottom end. The standoff has an elongated configuration and is selectively rotatable between a stored position parallel to the wall and a standoff position perpendicular to the wall. In the standoff position, an end of the standoff will engage the wall to maintain the bottom end of the caddy bucket spaced away from the wall.
