Style Pro 31 is a convenient, portable, and user-friendly tray that fits most sinks. The tray alleviates the clutter that surrounds sinks by allowing objects to be placed directly on it. Style Pro 31 can be used in homes, apartments, dorms, hotels, hospitals, assisted living facilities and cruise ships and for any travel needs.

I think it is useful for travel when you are forced to deal with a small bathroom that doesn't have enough room.  My guess is that is where the idea originally came from, but then they tried to expand the market, but ultimately not in a good way.  But even the small bathroom market is itself a very small market.  Maybe they could market the product to airlines.

Where are these super small bathrooms without space for stuff?  It looks like this thing is only marginally useful for a pedestal sink.  Every hotel I've ever stayed at had plenty of counter space and if it had a pedestal sink there was a separate counter next to it.

 

That girl in the video could just as easily spend $40 at Target or Home Depot to get another shelf for her bathroom that wouldn't need to be taken out and put away every day.  I also liked how she couldn't fit all of her stuff on the existing shelf until she got the product.  Then after she used it and stored it away, all of her stuff magically fit on the shelf.

Agreed.  That's why I said the "small bathroom" (e.g. pedestal sink as you put it) market would be very small.  But that is exactly what airlines have, so it would be useful for air travel.

I guess it would be if you needed to use 21 different items at once on an airplane bathroom and you can't use a curling iron on one.  Seems like a very small target market.

This has got to be one of the worst marketable products.

 

Only true demographic I can think of is people who travel a lot but don't have a lot of money to stay anywhere (even cheap motels have plenty of counter space)... Maybe college freshman who just moved into the dorms? Either way, not a target that you want to spend time/money creating products for.
