I got this toilet paper holder and dispenser to save room in my tiny bathroom. My apartment, believe it or not, did not come with a toilet roll; now I understand someone might have thrown it away, because every time I thought to reach for it after I first moved in, I nearly hit my head on the sink. Two potential problems: You have to hold the roll when you tear squares off because if you don't, you will likely send the roll flying (shocking guests who use it); and it has a tendency to fall over when the holder isn't full of extra rolls. I intend to spray paint it black, a more desired color than the cast iron color it came in.
