I am revising my review. Initially, I gave this product 5 stars. I purchased this product in the first place because I have minimal counter space in my bathroom, and I do not have room for a vanity. In addition, putting on makeup is challenging because I barely have anywhere to put my makeup while I put it on, and so much collects in front of my makeup holder that I can't open the drawers to get more out. Finally, the other day I had a thought and wondered if anyone had made something to cover a sink to give additional counter space. A quick Amazon search led me to this product and a few similar ones. I chose this one because I liked that there wasn't a gap anywhere, therefore, taking away the risk to have makeup fall into the sink.
My revision: I agree with some of the reviewers that this product seems cheaply made. I am not sure what it is made out of, perhaps some type of cardboard with a cheap material that scratches easily. The FIRST time I put this on my sink because my faucet must hang lower than some, it scratched the matte, or the scratch was already there when I got it, and I didn't notice since the matte is black. Like another reviewer noted, maybe we both got a bad batch, but the flap overlaps the fold, so it cannot be opened to lay flat. So it bows in the middle, making it unstable and unable to hold makeup properly. Also, makeup is not heavy; therefore, it won't hold it down with that weight.
Furthermore, I think the only reason I could have my matte lay flat when I placed it on my sink IS because my faucet is so low, providing stability the product itself cannot. However, for a $35 price point, I do not want to give credit to my sink for making a product perform the way it is supposed to perform on its own. I plan on moving soon or traveling, and I do not want a product to be good based on how low the faucet hangs. Did it solve my problem? The only thing it did was It covered my sink and provided me with more counter area. However, I could do that by buying a cutting board at this point. It does not solve my small counter space problem since it is unstable, bows and does not lay flat, and is only as good as the sink that it's on. Good idea, but I will find a better product.
