I looked everywhere for a bronze colored paper towel holder that was a good quality.  I was excited to find this one.  It is heavy and does allow you to tear the sheets with one hand.  The color is perfect for my kitchen.  It did come with a dent on the base - it was well packed so I have to think the damage occurred before shipping.  I waited too long, and I am too busy to ship it back so I will live with it.  Other than the dent I am very pleased with the purchase!
