I bought this for a friend and she love's it.It is beautiful. It is solid. Definitely a conversation starter.I think that there are two downfalls for this. The first is that, as stated by another reviewer, it is not easy to change the toilet paper. It involves unscrewing the end, taking it apart, putting the paper on the dowel, getting the screws into it correctly and hoping that you don't cross thread them. Not a quick change and go.The second is the screws that come with the item. I had read in another review that the screws hadn't been included. In ours the screws had been included: they were four one inch long wood screws. Well, they were going to be of any use, so my husband had to get the plastic wall inserts, drill four holes because they don't fit into the holes already in the walls.Still, awesome looking paper holder and my friend loves it

I wanted to love this because it looks cool. The material is very good, it is made out of solid material and will last forever. The problem is changing th toilet paper. You have to unscrew a nut at the end, slide out a very long screw, put the paper on the roll, slide the screw back in, shimmy the toilet paper with the screw through it back into place and secure the nut. The whole process is a bit arduous for as often as it needs to be done. If you don't mind that, the product is perfect.

Sturdy, beautifully built piece of craftsmanship. Such a cool addition to our bathroom. Thank you.

Beautifully made...It gives my bathroom a steam punk look. One bonus I never thought was toilet paper conservation. The brass metal flap rests on the top of the toilet paper so you can't spin the roll of paper. You can take what you need without having to with flush this huge wad of paper and it alleviates having to roll the paper back up onto the roll. Score!

Love this product! Looks great in my victorian styled bathroom.

Very good quality material. Easy to install. Looks great.
