I purchased this in the brushed silver/chrome color, not the black shown in the photo. It holds a lot of soap, is easy to open and close and takes up minimal counter space. I did buy these dispensers in the black and avocado colors, and the silver color looks and feels the "cheapest". The avocado and black colors feel rubberized almost, and thicker and sturdier than the silver. It will do for now as it is functional.
