This is the perfect piece for tiny spaces and especially small bathrooms. We have a very shallow sink for our small bathroom and were looking for a piece to hold items that didn't stick our further than the sink did. This was about the only piece that was shallow enough, and it looks great! The surface is a 'fake' marble, but for the price it's a nice looking simple piece. I like it so much that I'm considering getting another one for a separate space - it's so hard to find pieces that are this small and still functional!
