The best robe hooks
Robe hooks get chosen by finish and judged by whether they are still on the wall a year later. Only a few makers publish the number that decides it.

The number to look for
The published load is the whole story with a hook, and here it is:
- Delta Cassidy: 20 lb, from Delta’s answer on the page.
- Command Bath strips: 3 lb (medium) and 5 lb (large).
- Delta Dryden: 5 lb.
- Tooletries Arnold: 4 lb.
We found no published weight for a wet robe, so we will not tell you which rating is enough. You can find out in a minute: weigh the robe wet on a bathroom scale, then choose a hook with room to spare.
Where to put it
The ADA Standards set one rule for coat hooks: “Coat hooks shall be located within one of the reach ranges specified in 308.” That range is 15 in. minimum to 48 in. maximum above the floor for an unobstructed forward or side reach. In a home, it is a sensible limit if anyone has trouble reaching up.
Near the shower is better than across the room, and on a dry wall is better than inside the spray for anything except the Arnold.
Drilled, adhesive or silicone
A drilled hook holds the most when the anchors suit the wall. Adhesive holds well on smooth surfaces if you follow the cure time. Silicone grips glass and gloss tile and moves when you change your mind. The trade-offs are compared here, and suction against adhesive inside the shower is here.
Hook or bar?
A hook stores a robe; a bar dries a towel spread out. If the robe is a heavy one, a towel bar or a warmer sized for robes will dry it faster than a hook. Our robe picks are here.
If you rent
The Delta hooks rate Ask first on our install rating; the Command and Tooletries hooks rate Safe. Removing adhesive hooks cleanly is covered here.

1. Best overall
Cassidy Double Robe Hook
Delta · 79735 · best for a drilled hook that holds two robes
A double hook with a 20 lb load from Delta, 3-7/8 in. from the wall, with anchor advice for tile and drywall.
The Delta Cassidy double robe hook is the hook with the best number: 20 lb, given by Delta in its answer to a question on the product page. It is a double hook, so two robes or a robe and a towel.
It measures “4-5/8 in. H x 3-7/8 in. D x 2-1/2 in. W”, comes with its template and hardware, and Delta advises plastic or lead anchors in tile and toggle bolts in drywall without wood blocking. Six finishes match the Cassidy towel bar.

2. Best no-drill
Command Bath Hooks with Water-Resistant Strips
3M Command · Command Bath range · best for renters, and tile or painted walls outside the shower
Water-resistant strips 3M rates at 3 lb (medium) and 5 lb (large), with a stretch-release removal.
Command Bath hooks are the renter’s robe hook. 3M rates its water-resistant strips at 3 lb for the medium size and 5 lb for the large, and publishes the method: clean with rubbing alcohol, press, and “wait 1 hour before use”.
Removal is a pull on the tab — “always pull straight down” — which is what makes it safe to fit in a rental. The full method is here.

Why: 3M publishes a stretch-release removal that comes away without taking paint or tile glaze with it — provided you pull the tab straight down rather than levering the hook off the wall.
Read from published documentation, not from fitting one. 3M, Command Water-Resistant Strips product information sheet (weight ratings, application sequence and removal). How the verdict is derived: renter-safe ratings explained.
What’s wrong with it
An hour's wait before first use, and a rating a quarter of the Cassidy's.
What we can’t tell you
3M publishes no material for the hook itself.
Published specifications
| Published weight ratings | 3M rates the Command water-resistant strips at 3 lb (medium) and 5 lb (large) in its product information sheet |
|---|---|
| Application | 3M's published sequence: clean the surface with rubbing alcohol, remove the liner, press to the wall for 10 seconds, press the base firmly for 30 seconds, then “wait 1 hour before use” |
| Placement | 3M's own instruction is to choose a location where the strips are not over grout lines |
| Removal | Slide the hook up and off, hold the base, and “always pull straight down” |
| Drilling | None |
| Reusable | The hook is reusable with Command Bath refill strips |
| Material | Not published in the strips information sheet |

3. Best inside the shower
Tooletries The Arnold Shower Hook
Tooletries · The Arnold · best for glass, mirror and gloss tile
Stainless steel and silicone, rated to 4 lb, removable and reusable with no cure time.
The Tooletries Arnold hook grips rather than sticks: “heavy-duty stainless steel” with “100% waterproof silicone”, rated to “carry up to 4lbs”, and “completely removable and reusable”.
It needs “flat, smooth, shiny, non-porous surfaces”; Tooletries names mosaic, subway and kit-kat tiles as unsuitable. On a glass door, it is the hook for a robe you want within reach of the shower.
Renter-Safe Install Rating

Why: Tooletries publishes it as “completely removable and reusable” with a silicone grip rather than an adhesive. Nothing cures, so nothing has to be peeled off a wall later.
Read from published documentation, not from fitting one. Tooletries, The Arnold Shower Hook, plus the published surface compatibility guide. How the verdict is derived: renter-safe ratings explained.
What’s wrong with it
Rated to 4 lb, and not for textured tile or grout lines.
What we can’t tell you
Tooletries publishes no dimensions.

The one to skip
Dryden Double Robe Hook
Delta · 75135 · best for matching an existing dryden set
A drilled hook that publishes 5 lb, the same as an adhesive strip, and the deepest projection here.
Delta publishes the Dryden double robe hook’s capacity plainly, and that is the problem.
Its figure is “5 lbs”. You drill two holes for a hook that carries what 3M rates its large adhesive strip to carry, while Delta’s own Cassidy is given 20 lb.
It also “Extends 4-11/16 in. from wall”, the deepest on this page. If you are going to drill, drill for the Cassidy.
