Bathroom toilet paper holders are usually cheap, noisy and involve some type of tube with a spring or a stationary bar/hook... This one beats them all. The end of the toilet paper holder pivot up to allow a new roll of tissue to be put on it and then pivots down to close. Its a far better solution thant the other types. Installation was very easy following the emasurements in the included manual. The finish is perfect and the overall quality is very good. Its a heavy, sturdy paper holder.
