A dispenser, comprising a housing for a stack of sheet products and a dispensing opening, the dispenser comprising a dispensing member for engaging a front face of the stack adjacent the dispensing opening, the dispensing member being moveable and adapted for gripping a face of a sheet adjacent the dispensing opening, whereby movement of the dispensing member causes a sheet product adjacent the dispensing opening to separate from the stack and move into the dispensing opening, wherein: the dispenser housing is configured for holding the stack of sheet products in an interior volume thereof so that the front face of the stack is adjacent the dispensing opening, the dispensing member is positioned to engage the front face of the stack, the dispenser comprises a support structure against which the front face of the stack is to be supported, wherein the support structure comprises one or more shelves (21, 22) to support the dispensing face of the stack adjacent the dispensing opening, the support structure is configured to hold the stack in position against a weight of the stack or for holding the stack in position against a force of a biasing member acting on the stack so that the front face of the stack is pressed against the support structure by virtue of the weight of the stack or the urging provided by the biasing member, the support structure reveals part of the front face and the dispensing member is positioned to engage the revealed part of the front face of the stack, and the dispensing member is configured to move the sheet being gripped off the support structure to separate the sheet product from a remainder of the stack for dispensing from the dispensing opening, the dispensing member is positioned to press into the front face of the stack, in the stacking direction, so that the front-most sheet product in the stack is gripped and moved while being pressed against underlying sheet products in the stack, so as to cause the front-most sheet product at the location at which it is gripped to rub against underlying sheets in the stack as it is moved relative to the underlying sheets. the dispenser housing is configured for holding the stack of sheet products in an interior volume thereof so that the front face of the stack is adjacent the dispensing opening, the dispensing member is positioned to engage the front face of the stack, the dispenser comprises a support structure against which the front face of the stack is to be supported, wherein the support structure comprises one or more shelves (21, 22) to support the dispensing face of the stack adjacent the dispensing opening, the support structure is configured to hold the stack in position against a weight of the stack or for holding the stack in position against a force of a biasing member acting on the stack so that the front face of the stack is pressed against the support structure by virtue of the weight of the stack or the urging provided by the biasing member, the support structure reveals part of the front face and the dispensing member is positioned to engage the revealed part of the front face of the stack, and the dispensing member is configured to move the sheet being gripped off the support structure to separate the sheet product from a remainder of the stack for dispensing from the dispensing opening, the dispensing member is positioned to press into the front face of the stack, in the stacking direction, so that the front-most sheet product in the stack is gripped and moved while being pressed against underlying sheet products in the stack, so as to cause the front-most sheet product at the location at which it is gripped to rub against underlying sheets in the stack as it is moved relative to the underlying sheets.
