Compact but roomy, discreet and attractive, sturdy
I don't want to think about toilet paper. I just don't. I don't want to buy it often, or have to be careful to have it nearby, or have it grab my attention, or need frequent checking or maintenence. I just want it to be there as needed and look discreetly good while it waits its turn. This storage container is great! The metal is sturdy enough to resist dents and light enough to pick up and move the thing when fully loaded. The paint is smoothly applied, even on the surfaces that don't show. I like the little handles at the ends, they work well, seem built to last, and amuse me. (The "elegant tin bucket" vibe makes me chuckle.) The paint will help avoid rust and crud in general in a damp environment, and this container washes/dries easily and quickly to keep it clean. Best of all, this storage container comfortably holds mega-rolls of Charmin (TM) and Cottonelle (TM) and probably most other brands. ("I don't want to buy it often.") Six mega rolls fit easily, no need to pull or pry the roll out, there's a little space around each roll. Nine mega rolls also fit nicely (that's the package I usually buy), with the rim of the container being about halfway up the third layer of rolls. Yet somehow the container manages to be compact enough that I can tuck it near something and it doesn't take up traffic space or get knocked over. This storage container doesn't have a lid, so I'm putting a decorative hand towel on top and tucking it in around the edges. That means I don't have to look at the contents, or worry about stray flying toothpaste etc. -- the towel is machine washable/dryable. An unexpected advantage of this design is that I don't have to open the container to check my supply, it's obvious from outside. (I must confess, I'm probably going to embroider a piece of cotton cloth and add elastic to make a ruffle at the bottom -- it will look like a "mob cap." Think of what US colonial women wore on their heads. I do a lot of embroidery, so that will also get machine washed/dried and replaced as needed.) Anyway, I'm delighted with this toilet paper storage container and look forward to forgetting about it most of the time, and being mildly amused by it if I do notice it. It's just what I wanted.
