If you are like me and unfortunately do not have ample counter space in your bathroom for prepping your hair, makeup, and whatever else to be fully prepared for whatever adventure you are about to embark on next, maybe an exciting date or another day at the office.As the photo on the product page shows, there is an opening where the sink faucet would be, and therefore, even with the sink topper in place, you can turn on the water and rinse an applicator or your hands with ease. The topper has a sturdy feeling and is not flimsy at all. It is well-made. It folds from three pieces into one easily stored under your sink, or has a hole at the top where you could hang the sink topper from a wall. I recommend it, as you will be elated to have more space in the bathroom to work your beauty magic.
