This product has turned out great. I have cleared up my countertop which has been a huge relief for me and solved a very long standing problem in my bathroom. I cant stand to have appliances and cords sitting on my countertop, in the way and being an eyesore, and for years I have tried a bunch of solutions from countertop holders to cabinet door hangers to rerouting the cords and just storing under the cabinet and none of them worked. Either it was ugly or the cords got tied up and made it inconvenient. This solved all of that.
The trays are thick, solid, hard plastic and not flimsy at all. They are holding up well to a hot curling iron being placed right in there. They are perfect sized for my hair dryer with a diffuser on it (though that is the ONLY thing that can fit on that side when it is in there) but the side for curling irons has a bit more tray space to spare.
I was very nervous about this installing correctly in my bathroom. I measured to make sure there was adequate space, but I was more nervous about the quality of the trays and the hinges installing correctly. There is no way I could have installed this by myself, and I am fairly good at constructing small projects and DIYing things.
It so happened that there was 1-2 inches sideways recessing behind sides of the false front opening on both the left and right sides. My husband had to put in spacers and got long screws to go through them in order to get the trays installed far enough in towards the center so that I did not lose an inch or two of tray space. Both sides had to be spaced like this so that the outer edges of the trays lined up perfectly with the opening in the cabinet hole. We had to remove old hinges, mark everything before we drilled, hold the trays in the desired place and mark new screw holes, and things like that. The hinges themselves were difficult to figure out, Im glad my husband is very handy and can figure things out like this. Also, because our cabinets are dark brown, almost black, where there were hinges before, now there are light spaces and screw holes that we need to fill in, touch up, or put on some wood stain to make those disappear.
After the install was complete, we found that we actually got everything perfectly straight and uniform and everything looks fantastic. The accessory cords plug in on top of the counter, go down into the false front in the corner, hang in the space under the sink and then come up through the middle of the trays and out of the cabinet when I need to use them. Then when I'm done, I stick the cords back down through the center. If we had electric run under the cabinets, that would be ideal, then the cords would really be out of sight, but we were not willing to run electricity down there or install a plug in.
Overall, the item works great, looks great, was a pain to install, but with a little bit of planning ahead and about an hour or so, this has been the solution I was looking for. The only thing is if they made them in different colors or decorative patterns!

Look and measure first to save yourself some headache
I am thrilled with these shelves and am glad someone finally invented a way to fully stow these types of items without having to look at something hanging on a wall or door. I went one step further and had an electrician install a GFI outlet UNDERNEATH the sink area so I can leave my appliances plugged in all the time. I just flip down the door and pull out my flatiron and bam! I'm in business!Best thing I did before installing? I watched their YouTube video! Highly recommend anyone else doing the same as the printed instructions are someone difficult to grasp unless you're a seasoned handy-person. I'm just a single gal who wants some organization and this video made it so much easier for me to understand what I was getting myself into. I move slowly, but I'd say it took me about 30 minutes to have both shelves fully installed (minus the hinges as my vanity already had them).Some things I wish I had looked at more closely before buying include:* Width of my sink. I have an over-sized basin and while these shelves include a cutout for the curvature of the sink, they were a bit too wide to actually fit snugly to the side of the sink. However, I was able to install them at a slightly downward angle to overcome this.* What's behind the false drawer? I don't know what this is officially called, but the support bar that holds the false drawer has sideways cutouts inside to allow for attaching it directly to the rest of the cabinet. Had I not looked into the area before drilling I wouldn't have seen this and would then have put holes into an area that couldn't hold the screws. I took some pictures and will try to upload them to show you what I mean.* What's on the inside on the side of the cabinet? Like another reviewer, my vanity actually has drawers on the side of the sink. So instead of two "walls" to attach the sides of the shelves to, I actually had a drawer guide. Luckily there was a hole in the guide (intended, but I'm not sure for what), so I was able to insert a screw and nut to hold the side of the shelf up. I'll try to include a picture of that as well. I think a zip-tie would work just as well.Someone else mentioned that they do come with hinges to turn a truly false drawer into a flip-down door. Huge bonus! But don't look at the actual pictures listed by the company, as they do not accurately reflect what they send. Instead, look at their drawing (last picture). Their hinges mount to the vertical side of the opening. Fortunately I already had the hinges in my house, but another reviewer mentioned it in their review and I noticed that the pictures don't match what I actually received. I think it's awesome the hinges are included, but please keep in mind where you'll be installing them when deciding to order.Like another reviewer, I was frustrated at paying $12.50 for shipping when purchasing from Amazon; but I was unable to get the actual company's website to play nice enough to make me feel comfortable buying from them for the first time. If I ever need an additional set, I will definitely save the cashola and buy directly from them.

Great solution to long standing problem. Think about and plan your install before you start, though!
