Amazon.com Review
The Japanese styling and simple form of this alder soap dish add an elegant touch to the work area around the kitchen sink. It looks lovely with a thick slice of handmade soap, and the lightweight, unfinished wood has four slots running lengthwise across the top for drainage and two slots running crosswise on the bottom to prevent water from collecting. Avoid leaving the soap dish standing in water, however, as it may become discolored. --Jennifer Harris

Customer Reviews

A well made, attractive soap dish
I bought this soap dish to keep bars of soap from sitting in their own puddle in my flat-bottomed soap dish, and it's worked very well. However, the wood is unfinished, and soap will quickly be absorbed into it, staining the wood and making the soap bar stick. I would recommend rubbing the raised parts with paraffin (an old candle would do) before use, and buffing that into the wood so it's protected from the damp.

Simple Wood Soap Dish
I wanted a simple wood soap dish to use bar soap which isn't used very often. This works well and does not scratch my counter top. It is actually big enough for a bar of soap and a small nail brush. I like the simplicity of it. It does take on the oils of the soap so it will discolor. I think that is one of it's beauties though it will not fit in a pristine environment. The price was right.

A manly soap dish?
Well this soap dish appealed to my nautical tastes. I really like it. Who needs one of those girly porcelin or cheap plastic soap dishes! The only downside is the accumulation of soap debris that collects on top, but it is easily washed off before your guests arrive:)
