This tray is made of thick, sturdy plastic. It is a high quality item and durable. You could use it for jewelry storage while bathing, facial sponges, bath bombs, candle holder, or whatever your bathroom needs are! Since I purchased the soap dispenser and toothbrush holder in the same line, I am using mine as containment for those as they match perfectly. No metal on the product means no eventual rusting, so I appreciate the thick plastic material for sink use. Very pretty in person!
