Maintaining an orderly bathroom can be challenging if you lack storage for everyday essentials — toilet paper being among the list of items that must be contained somewhere in the room. Instead of relying on baskets and bins, which can require a bit of space to accommodate and may fail to conceal the contents, Amazon has a creative place to store toilet paper: a mid-century-styled wooden end table.

The MAHYIZYI Mid-Century Modern Slim Night Stand with Storage normally retails for around $67.95 on Amazon (though price may vary slightly depending on the selected finish) and is designed to be a versatile piece of storage. It measures 13.8 inches long, 7.9 inches wide, and 23.6 inches high, featuring two drawers; underneath them is an open space for more storage. Stylistically, this side table gives off mid-century modern decor vibes, as advertised, with clean lines and functional detailing, like the small metal handles. It is crafted from a combination of materials, including engineered wood for the frame, but product details state that the top is real wood.

The petite footprint of the piece, in addition to the decent storage space in each drawer, could translate to it being situated next to the toilet and filled with extra rolls of toilet paper. While the diameter of toilet paper rolls varies brand to brand, it's likely that this piece could accommodate two rolls in each drawer, as well as two more in the open storage section on the bottom for easy access. The piece advertises itself as having a waterproof finish, which could be another reason to consider acquiring one for your bathroom.

While there is a lot to like about this slim storage solution, the discerning shopper may notice that it has some mixed feedback, earning a 3.8-star average from 69 reviews at the time of writing. Positive reviews praise the piece's appearance and function, saying that it is stylish and sturdy. One happy customer wrote, "I bought this narrow nightstand/table for my daughter's bathroom to store all of her 'essentials,' and it ended up being even better than I expected! It fits perfectly in a smaller space while still giving us plenty of functional storage." This sentiment is echoed by another buyer who put theirs to use in the bathroom, too.

Negative feedback, however, complains that this side table is poorly crafted and difficult to assemble. Numerous reviews say that the product's drawers stick or that it is, as a whole, wobbly. While one customer said that it cannot be returned after it's been assembled, another offered a more encouraging anecdote; after receiving a box of hardware and no instructions, the customer wrote that, "the seller reached out and fully resolved the issue by sending the hardware and instructions. Once I had those, I was able to assemble the piece."

If you appreciate the aesthetic of this side table, it could add some form and function to your bathroom — you could even position some decorative items like a reed diffuser and magazines on the top. For more wary shoppers, however, this Dollar Tree DIY for stylish toilet paper storage may be more appealing.
