I purchased this soap dish because I liked the fact that there are 2 pieces which allow water to drain into the bottom dish. This keeps the shelf in my shower neat and keeps the bar of soap from getting soft and mushy. It is also a generous size so it will hold any bar of soap. I bought the Blue/Aqua color hoping it would go with my bathroom because it is painted a seafoam shade. The color is a perfect complement in the white shower stall.
