I purchased this for my powder room to store toilet paper, hand lotion, towels, etc. on as the room is very small and there is no room for a cabinet.  The sink is a pedestal sink so no storage available there!  This works perfectly and looks great.   The piece is very substantial and well made.  Because of the weight of the shelf and the load I put on it, my husband did purchase longer screws to secure it to the wall as the ones that came with it were very short.  Love it!
