Side by Side Comparison of: InterDesign vs MetroDecor

Love it, Simple, Low cost and effectiveI dropped it a few times and it didn't break. I can even scrub and wash it off when it gets coated in soap.Note: No holes in the bottom so you do have to drain water that gets in there every now and then. You can always drill your own holes if this is a big issue for you.

I mean what can I say? It's a dish that you put soap in. For some reason I had a really hard time finding a cheap plastic soap dish? So kind of by default I bought this one and i love it. It doesn't really get soap scummy either. Great quality for the press I've already dropped it once lol

I got these for the downstairs powder room and my upstairs bathroom. They are very simple yet elegant, and they fit in very well with the decor of the bathroom. My intention was for them to be understated and functional and that is exactly what they are. Our remodel was extensive and expensive and these complement perfectly ;-)!

This InterDesign Royal Rectangular Soap Dish is compact, light, unobtrusive, and well-made. The ridges on the bottom lift the soap up, and prevent it from becoming adherent to the soap dish itself. The soap dish represents a superb value at the price point at which it is being offered. This InterDesign Royal Rectangular Soap Dish is outstanding, and I give it a five-star rating, along with my highest recommendation.

This is a very simple dish. There is no drainage because it's only one piece with slots that are a bit raised. Hard plastic that is very durable and I'm sure will last a very long time. We're using it at our kitchen sink to drain our SOS pads instead of staining our stainless steel sink when the SOS pad starts to lose its soap and begins to show that rusty residue. Will be buying a couple more for other rooms.

I got a couple of these to put in my showers and they do just what I wanted them to do. they keep the soap out of the goop in the bottom and they are easy to clean with a dish brush and water. I liked them so much I bought 2 more to put on the counter in my master bathroom, too. I had a couple of "designer" soap dishes in my master bath which looked wonderful in the store. At home, with drippy soap, not so much. So i replaced them with these and it's much more satisfactory. The price is right, too!

I use a Spinbrush electric toothbrush: one for morning, one for night. This unit holds three electric toothbrushes easily. I think they also produce a larger one for more toothbrushes. The quality is excellent .

Nice and easy to clean. Sturdy. Dont tip over. Modern. sleek. simple. Cheap.

Was looking for something cute but simple and this seem good enough. Very light weight and EASY TO CLEAN! Since all the other ones are like cups and you get that water residue on the bottom I hated that and the cleaning made me gag since it turned a weird color?? .. sometimes. But this is very easy to just wipe down when I'm in a rush in cleaning. I got the one with the larger holes cause I wanted something that will hold the toothpaste and toothbrushes... and it does just that. plus our razors! Clean and simple that's what I like!

Perfect bathroom glass because it looks like glass but is plastic and is unbreakable around small ones who love to get drinks out of the sink. Easy to clean and has not clouded up or scratched over several months of daily use. Well made.

I bought this to match the clear acrylic theme I seem to have going on in my bathroom right now. It fits in perfectly with my acrylic makeup organizers and acrylic qtip jar. Doesn't look or feel cheap and I love that my kid's large gripped tooth brushes can fit too. Very easy to clean.

My bathrooms were renovated about 25 years ago, and the toothbrushes in those days had straight handles. The present-day brushes have incredibly wide ergonomic handles which do not fit. Here I found the answer -- a heavy, clear holder, feels like Lucite, and goes with everything. For all these years, I have had a problem with where to put my toothbrush. I got one for the guest room bathroom, too. I have been using it for a week or so, and it has had no tendency to flip over -- a good plan! The bathrooms still look good, and now are more easy to use.

Not exactly what i expected.. the slats looked like holes to me to I was expecting a soap dish that would drain out the water... o well, it still works

I like this, I got it to cut down on tossing out plastic liquid soap bottles. I use it on the bathroom sink for my mom's homemade soap. Her bars are normal sized bars. I was a bit surprised to find that I had to sit the dish lengthwise to get the soap out, because it fits the bars so well inside, that one can't get their fingers to scoop the bar out widthwise.

very sturdy and the price was right,

What can you say about a soap dish? It's plastic, so it doesn't trust. The ribs in the bottom hold up the soap so that it dries rather than sitting in water and getting all gooey. I bought one for my bathtub and my wife liked it so much that she bought three more.

what we needed for our shower

yep, it's a soap dish....price is right for quality of product, which seems about as good as you can expect....just wish the ridges were just a little taller, to keep soap bar even further away from water.....but otherwise fits the bill.

This was smaller than I imagined, and not glass, like I imagined either. However, the material is sturdy and serves well as a bathroom tumbler. I don't have many complaints

Wish the holes were a little smaller, but good for electric toothbrushes!

I have 3 of these, two in my kitchen and one in my bathroom. I like the simple design and they're easy to fill.

a bit small if you have a lot of brushes

This works great in the downstairs medicine cabinet but a little too big for the upstairs cabinet. I must have measured wrong.

They do the job and are easy to clean. I can never understand why any company would create a cup type and not be able to remove the top to clean the interior. People place a stick in their mouths each day, it sits usually near a place where they defecate, and yet I cant clean the bottom of some tooth brush holder because its basically an enclosed drum with holes on top? Nonsense. At least with this item, you can wash it properly or toss it in the dish washer. I personally would have made the bottom have ridges so the tooth brushes would not slide about at their bases and stay put. Essentially, not so great engineering. Little ridges or a pattern or something. A little harder to clean but worth it to keep tooth brushes from touching anything else as they stand in the brush holder. But still, this works fine.

Indents need to be taller, water that drips off the soap just lingers so the soap remains mushy for extended time. Might work better in a dry climate.

Gets the job done but I wish there was a tiny drainage hole or two in the dish so that water doesn't accummulate and stand which slowly turns the bar of soap into mush. Seems kind of like a no brainer when designing a soap dish, yet for some reason not at all standard.

Clear and solid, but maybe brittle if dropped. Previous dishes (Bed & Bath and not sure if same maker) cracked but still useable. Soap saver ridges aren't high enough. I also bought the elastic soap savers, but the two do not fit. The soap savers are a bit bigger. Actually, the soap savers are better designs in that it has high spikes and are containers.

Needs to have holes at the bottom to let water out.

I wish it had drainage holes. It is a nice shape, but pools water.

Made of hard plastic rather than a soft plastic. Otherwise ok.

I really liked the size and shape of this acrylic glass for a bathroom tumbler. Unfortunately, I'll be returning and ordering a different glass because I didn't realize until they arrived that the glass/acrylic is not dishwasher safe. If you don't mind hand washing, then it's a great glass.

I like the look. They are easy to fill. If had about 2 months and the rip has come off one. But it still works fine. Lower quality, but looks nice and does the job.

I bought this for the main floor bathroom but was a bit nervous that if one of the kiddos dropped it the lid would just pop off since it doesn't screw in. It's ok so far. It's plastic and so is the pump.

Very thin and poor kind of plastic. It feels more like a toy, something that might break any minute. I don't have high expectations that this wil last.

The item is great ...however, I ordered 2 exactly the same and one of them was missing the top dispenser portion altogether. So, I received just a plastic glass cup for w no dispenser for one ......

I like the design and the look and that you can see the soap in it so you know there's nothing gross growing or getting in there. It's lightweight plastic and is easy to refill (the whole top pops off or you can just unscrew the silver part), however, the small silver spout has been coming off. It's easy to slip back in but you just have to be careful and not touch it when you're getting the soap from it. Ours also got a crack somehow on the side soon after we got it. It doesn't leak though, but I've had this for about 5 months and am thinking I'll need to replace it soon. We'll see.

No holes on the bottom to drain extra water!!!

I wish it had some slits in the bottom for the water to drain out of the dish. The soap was always sitting in water.

This product is made with a hard plastic that does not prevent the soap or the container from moving or falling. Unless you put double sided tape on the bottom this product is useless.

The soap dish collects water. The ridges aren't tall enough to keep the soap bar out of water. Found a clear plastic soap dish at Wal-Mart with holes to drain water for 97 cents....

I thought it had slits at the bottom to drain the water. It falls off the side of the bathtub or sink every time you put soap into it, because it is very lightweight and there is not any type of non slip material to keep this hard plastic from sliding.

It's ok. Dish is too shallow to hold water; I have to drain it after each use, otherwise, soap will be sitting in water.

The tube the soap comes out of broke off after a few months of use. Also, you have to be careful picking this dispenser up because its only loosely held together and the soap can spill out easily if you try to carry this by the silver top part.

I loved the look of these, they are so beautiful. If you are only going to have careful adults use them I think they would be ok, but my kids broke them in about 2 weeks. You have to make sure you always push down on the very top, not on the spout itself and my kids couldn't remember.

refilling this is impossible. the soap gets stuck in the middle and goes down very slowly. i am throwing mine away. terrible bottle

If this weren't so cheaply made I would like it. It looks nice, and the fact that you can pull up the whole top and fill it quickly is nice... unless you knock it over and 5 ounces of soap spills all over your bathroom.The more daily annoyance is that the spout just pops out regularly. Picture it: You push down on the pump and out comes the soap AND the nozzle! A total pain. And of course impossible to fix because no glue will stand up to constant exposure to water and soap. I tried.Keep looking!

I really like the sleek look of this soap dispenser, but the nozzle keeps falling off. I'm going to either have to glue it or return it for a new one. But overall I've never had a problem from Interdesign before and generally like their products.

When you go to fill this up, there is a narrow tube in the center where the insert goes and it takes forever to fill this up. It is cylinder-shaped with a small hole in the center. I have no idea what the purpose of that is. It is stupid. Sorry I bought this. Be warned.

Not good for shower or around tub. Has no opening to let the water so soap pretty much sits on water and melts away! I had to improvise and use a really hot knife to make holes on the bottom and it looks awful but at least my soap is not sitting in a puddle of water and getting all discussing and melting

Enough said

Garbage... Don't buy these!

I guess I thought it was going to be heavier and higher quality. I thew it in the trash I didn't even bother to send it back.

Was cracked when I received it. Will be returning.

I bought four of these to sit in our showers, which have shelves for shampoo and soap and such built into the tile. I mention this because you would think that sitting up a little higher on the wall, the soap would be dryer than in most showers. Anyway, I put one of the soap dishes in the shower and in no time the soap disintegrated; it disappeared faster than using no soap dish at all! What a disappointment. Maybe I should have known better. The hunt for a decent soap dish continues.

I'd give this ZERO stars if it let me. This is JUNK. I paid over $7 for a soap dispenser and it didn't even last 2 months. The little spout where the soap comes out snapped right off. Furthermore, the top doesn't screw on; it just sits there.

I bought two of these, and the both broke within 2 months of regular use. The first one cracked in several places after falling into my sink, which I was willing to give the benefit of the doubt. However, the second one cracked from washing it in hot water from my bathroom tap. Additionally, the top lid doesn't screw on and will result in you losing soap if it ever tips over.You get what you pay for - these dispensers are cheap and won't last. Go buy something else.

Light in weight, so not stable on the counter or in use. Lid does not screw on so will cause small disasters occasionally. Nozzle falls out frequently. Looks nice in picture but very cheap impression in person.

Very weak, plastic material and the long beak/part of the dispenser on the top broke within 2 days. Overall cheap quality.

Mine came broken. Further although a nice look if u ever mistaken hit this bottle over...the entire contents spill. There's no grip for the lid. So disappointed. So very disappointed

Can't recommend these. They cracked about a month after purchase. They look nice, but now they are unusable.
