Perfect for all my face stuff. It has a lot of options for placement of things. It’s sturdy. The drawers slide in and out really well. I love the white too. It’s clean and sleek looking. Really happy it stores Medicube products! Wasn’t sure if it would! 🤍

Exactly what I needed! Stores a ton!
Color: Black
PERFECT! This is exactly what I was looking for to organize and de-clutter my bedside table. I have a ton of "lotions and potions" because I'm a beauty product junkie (and as we all know Amazon is a beauty addict's best friend, so needless to say I've accumulated a lot of products). Let's just say my bedside table looked like an Ulta had exploded. I hunted around for an organizer, but none of the others were quite to my taste or needs. This one, however, is absolutely perfect! Despite being made of your basic black plastic, it feels surprisingly well build and has some decent weight to it. The drawers slide perfectly and there aren't any of those little manufacturing imperfections that you sometimes find on plastic products like this. The spaces are all structured in a way that allows plenty of space for a variety of products of different shapes and sizes while still holding them all securely. The top/back (right side) slot is divided into 2 equal sized compartments that easily have enough room for things like full size lotion bottles, hair spray, etc., the middle slot is just one open space and also has plenty of room for full size products or styling tools, and the lowest/front slot is split into 3 equal sized compartments that are perfect for things like smaller face lotion bottles, essential oils, lip balms, nail polish, etc. (you can fit several of such smaller items in each of the 3 lowest compartments). The drawers are surprisingly generous in their size! I was able to fit a ton of whitening strips, full size nail files, hair clips, tweezers, and much, much more in each drawer. Then you have the upper left side which also holds a ton of items (I have all of my serums, facial cream jars, eye makeup remover pads, and some essential oils up there). In fact I was quite shocked and pleased to see just how much this organizer was able to hold, yet it doesn't feel too bulky or oversized. I couldn't be more happy with this purchase! Well worth the $20 in order to keep my table looking sleek and my products easy to find. :)

Nice little organizer for perfumes

Love this! My perfume organizer! I put some hair accessories in the little drawers. You can't have too many perfumes though. Good quality.
