Plastic types of products look pretty good in the bathroom. They are inexpensive, durable, almost any decor can be applied to the surface. Moreover, modern high-quality plastic is not susceptible to decay; mold or fungus will not damage it. Not only small attributes (holders, coasters, shelves) are made of plastic, but also rather overall things - cabinets, cabinets, chests of drawers;
