I like the simplicity, no spring-loaded tube to deal with, just slip the roll over the end. And it would have gone well with the clean, streamlined look of my bathroom remodel. However, trying to install it was a giant hassle and eventually I gave up. The tiny set screw that is supposed to hold the piece against the mounting plate would just not "stick," not surprising since the mounting plate has beveled edges that the set screw just "climbed" over. Really dumb design for the mounting. I contacted Wayfair and received a refund, which I am putting toward a replacement unit—but not one from Gatco, since many of their fixtures seem to have this same kind of mounting system.
