We remodeled our bathroom and removed the vanity so we needed some place in addition to the medicine cabinet to place stuff.  It fits our needs but it not the "roomiest" The way it is built - should you have tall bottles - that is the limit of what you will be able to use.  However, we found a way to make it work.  We use it to put the shampoo, etc. but the small shelf it creates, we put the bar soap.  Construction - you do have to assemble it and it is not solid wood but is of good quality.  Nice addition to our bathroom - giving it that quaint appearance.
