I spent quite a bit of time reading the specifications of the toilet paper holders offered on Wayfair. I went with this one, even though very expensive, as the description stated that it was: made in Italy, solid brass, chrome plated, with a specified weight of 5 pounds. When it arrived I was shocked at how light it was. I would guess less than one pound. I even question if the product was/is authentic. I purchased an incredible faucet (Maestro Bath) on Wayfair last year so this was very disappointing. Wayfair deducted 28.76 CND from my refund. My cost/charge to return the item. If the weight/quality had been there (as described), I would have happily kept it.
