This dispenser holds a ton of bags! Like a club store sized box. The lid stays secure with the little side buttons that snap into place. Easy to open and restock. I find that folding them into a sort of S shape makes them come out easier. I’m not sure about the little square compartment. It’s good for rubber bands but I don’t use them that often. Feels like wasted space. Think I’ll try the bigger dispenser that has a spot for sandwich and snack bags too. The height is perfect for a standard drawer and makes everything look more organized.
