To put a roll of toilet paper on this holder, you lift the lefthand knob/end of the bar and pivot the bar upwards. The problem is that there is gap between the inner edges of the bar knobs and the ends of the cone-shaped parts of the posts; this gap reveals the unsightly gray plastic that covers the ends of the posts, with a slightly wider gap on the left that makes it look as though you can't place the end far enough back toward the wall. It's ugly and totally ruins the aesthetics. We were able to remove the plastic on the left post, but on the right, the plastic cannot be completely removed, so we had to trim the plastic so it wouldn't show. There is still a gap, but at least now it's metal that shows instead of plastic. I'm sure this holder would function with the plastic bits left in place, but it needs a little surgery to make it decent-looking as well as functional.
Per previous review, the bar pivots up to install the roll. This is fine in concept but just OK in execution/engineering. It results in a larger than expected gap and visibility of a bit of (gray colored) plastic where the bar pivots and lands on the wall mount(s). There isn't an obvious way to 'correct' or adjust this. It bothered me more when I installed and I tried to 'correct' it. I finally just said 'good enough'. My guess is no one will 'notice' this where it is installed.
(Because it is part of an attractive set) I might still buy again, but this quirk is annoying until you accept that it is just a toilet paper holder.
