Bath: Toilet Paper Holder Update
December 19th, 2007
From Julie:
A while back, we posted Czech & Speake’s gorgeous, heavyweight Edwardian lavatory roll holder on our 10 Easy Pieces roundup (see remodelista.com).
We were dismayed by its cringingly high price, which starts at £205 for the chrome version, yet could not resist its glamorous profile. We are happy to report that we have found an equally stunning—yet infinitely more reasonably priced—version at Aston Matthews. We present the Stirrup Roll Holder, enigmatically priced at £57.58, at astonmatthews.co.uk:

Dear Sirs,
there is no enigma about the price of this item. Yes you found the Stirrup Roll Holder from Aston Matthews for only GBP 57,58. I got ten ofthem this month but sent already back 5 of them. Even the 5 I kept are not in a good condition and will be dissassembled repolished and replated because my client only wanted this model. The horizontal bar which holds the white roll (only a cheap version in laquered iron with terrible burs on both ends) didn’t fit in the second hole when already inserted in the first. You can only force it in the hole which means you cannot turn the bar for fixing the roll. At the end the white “Iron roll” very rare is really horizontal. (Must be made from the worst supplier in India) Don’t ge me wrong, I think the Czech and Speake roll holder is heavily overpriced but I wouldn’t buy the roll holder from Aston Matthews even for only GBP 10,00. Only plus - I got a refund, with no questions, no regrets. If you love quality - stay away
