My bathroom countertop is large so the towels are far away from the sink. I bought this so I would quit dripping water everywhere. (yes, I could have been prepared and brought a towel to the sink, but I never remembered to do that) I really like it's convenience! The only reason I didn't give it a 5 star rating is because I would like it even better if it had a suction cup on the bottom so I would be less likely to knock it down. :) But, it is great to have and looks really nice!
