Not Baskets, Not Bins: The Amazon Find That'll Add Storage To Your Bathroom Counters

Baskets and bins are not the only items you can use to organize your bathroom. It's not that they don't work. They do. But when you have limited counter space, they are not always the most efficient option. A basket may keep your items in one place, but it still takes up a wide section of the counter. And once you start adding bottles, tubes, jars, and small makeup products, it can quickly turn into another container you have to dig through.

That is what makes this Kingrack 3-Tier Bathroom Counter Organizer a useful addition to your bathroom counter. For under $35, this circular organizer, available in black, white, and pink, makes better use of height in a way most baskets and bins don't. Instead of spreading your essentials across the counter, it stacks them upward on three metal tiers, leaving more room around your sink. The central base also rotates 360 degrees, so you can reach your items from any angle. That means you do not have to dig through a crowded tray just to find your moisturizer, perfume, or hair product while getting ready in the morning. Just spin the organizer, grab what you need, and move on.

It is also built from heavy-duty steel and finished with a rust-resistant, waterproof coating, which makes sense for a bathroom where there is no avoiding the occasional splash. Each tier has slightly elevated edges to help keep items from sliding off as you rotate the organizer, and the bottom has a non-slip base to help keep it steady on the countertop.

Most people use this organizer for skincare, makeup, and grooming tools, but it can do more than hold bottles and brushes. For instance, you can keep a small timer or clock on the topmost tier. That can help you leave your face wash, mask, teeth whitening strips, or deep conditioning treatment on for the right amount of time without having to reach for your phone.

Speaking of phones, if you are trying to make the bathroom a no-phone zone, you can keep a small paperback, crossword book, devotional, or Rubik's Cube on one tier. That way, you have something to reach for when you're on a bathroom break. Alternatively, this could be a clever way to organize the cosmetic samples cluttering your vanity. We're talking travel-size soaps, mini lotions, perfume samples, and small product packets. If you keep them on one tier, there is a better chance you will actually use them before they expire or pile up.

And while the organizer could technically work as a makeshift medicine cabinet, you may want to think twice before storing vitamins or medication in the bathroom, since humidity is not always ideal for those products. It does, however, come in handy in a shared bathroom. Each person can claim a tier or section of the organizer, which helps to reduce the chances of someone grabbing the wrong brush, deodorant, or product.
