If you have a more industrial or minimalistic looking bathroom, you can always find a metal bath caddy tray instead!
Stools are a little less functional if you don’t have kids who need the extra height. However, they can still be used as mini tables for placing items.

From soap bottles to grooming products to towels, an etagere is the perfect solution. However, compared to the plastic, clumsy-looking etageres you might have gotten in college, the Frontgate Belmont etageres are classier and sleeker. These shelves are made of steel and aluminum and beveled tempered glass are used as shelves. If your bathroom has a sleek, minimalistic feel, these would be perfect storage additions.
