I did not know it until I opened the box...This is exactly the napkin holder I was looking for. I keep (try to find one-of-a-kind!) paper napkins in my guest bathrooms instead of having slightly damp, damper, wet, and soaking hand or finger towels. This Napkin Holder has sloping sides so that the size of the napkin does not have to be an exact size. Would definitely repurchase.
