We just wrapped up a bathroom remodel. We don't have much space between the vanity and toilet for a standard paper holder and there are no other good options for mounting a standard paper holder. We've been living with the TP roll sitting on the corner of vanity for years but with the remodeling complete we wanted a permanent TP storage solution.We started searching for options and decided that a recessed paper holder mounted into the side of the vanity would be perfect. We also wanted an oil-rubbed bronze finish to match the other fixtures in the bathroom.We are very pleased with this paper holder. The finish is beautiful. The photos are a very good representation of the color and finish quality. The entire holder is metal - including the rod in the center.The online description does not specify but the holder does include with a wall clamp bracket.Installation was easy though I had to take extra care to avoid scratching the side of the vanity when I cut out the installation opening. I covered the side of the vanity with blue painters masking tape. I measured and marked for the opening using the template supplied with the paper holder. I drilled holes at the 4 corners then used a jig saw to cut out the opening. I removed all the masking tape and used the supplied screws and clamp bracket to mount the paper holder. The flange around the edge of the holder covers the edges of the cutout by almost a half inch all around.The screws that fasten the holder to the installation clamp are extra long. I think this is to allow you to attach everything together and slip the clamp into a wall opening. Since I was mounting in a vanity I had access to the back side so I attached the clamp bracket inside the vanity cabinet using some small screws. Then I cut down the screws using a hack saw so they wouldn't extend too far into the cabinet.The only negative comment I have about this fixture is that the spring in the center rod is extremely stiff. If we're careless changing the roll it could easily slip out of our hand and rocket into the wall, cabinet or toilet.
