    Good purchase
    Color: Gold, Color: Gold
    It matches my decor and it was easy to assemble. I have been using it for the past month and so far it has done what’s it’s supposed to do, look pretty and hold the tissue roll in place. I am sure it will last years.

    Color: Gold
    Pretty Appearance, BUT the base is very thin and RAZOR SHARP. I almost sent it back, but I had matching gold border tape which I added to it to cover those sharp edges.
