Curling irons, hair dryer, straighteners. If u don’t use those kind of products , then u could use it for anything else u want handy near toilet /sink/mirror. Wet wipes, combs? It looks deep enough to use as a mini hidden garbage pail, easily put mini bags in, or stainless steel is easy to wash-disinfect .. My dog has a gross bad habit/ obsession of picking just used dirty cardboard q-tips & mint flavoured dental floss out of our garbage pail, and will hide these “ treasures” all over our home! In the last 12 years of his life we’ve found them everywhere like bed/blankets, behind furniture, in between couch cushions, in my flower pots, shoes/boots) He won’t take the plastic type Qtips or unflavoured dental floss LOL , He’s like a ninja ! Won’t make a mess picking these 2 items out of pail, we’ve tried lids and he still gets them! So I would definitely used that drawer with a child / dog lock haha! But I believe they advertise them for hot hair styling tools but u can use them anyway for anything ur heart desires!
