no more having to twist my back to reach behind me for the toilet paper!  it also makes it easier for my husband to have the replacement roll right there (needless to say, i don't have to keep track so much as to how much is remaining!).  if it is not completely flat on the floor, there are inserts at the bottom of the 'feet' that can be pushed in to even it out & it is flat on the floor.  wayfair has excellent packaging and quality control compared to other vendors that sell this same holder.  highly recommend.
