Vintage Tissue Box Cover, Wooden Octagonal Tissue Box Holder/Dispenser

I bought this tissue dispenser because it is very unusual are out of the ordinary and besides having an octagonal shape, it is decorated in a very ornate way which I have never seen before, with wooden accents, as well as brass nail heads. I also love the brass flowers against the gold/green background. To load your tissue box first take your tissues out of their original box and carefully load them into the top of the holder, unlocking the beautiful brasslatch, which allows the whole top to pivot open on hingesYou then place the tissues in the box, bottom first, which allows the first tissue to naturally come up through the hole. Of course you need to choose Pop-Up tissues, and I strongly recommend that you use a quality 3-ply tissue in your container, so that when you pull the next one, it pulls through in one piece. I did not realize when I went to load mine for the first time that I had inadvertently purchased some less expensive, fewer than 3-ply tissues, and I had a mess on my hands. They never did dispense correctly. Ever since then, with the 3-ply all has been well. I have gotten so many compliments on this dispenser I cannot count. I give it 5 Stars and would recommend it to All.

I've purchased 4 of these tissue boxes over the last 2 years for different areas of our home. They're sturdy, very attractive and well-made with a rich appearance. I wasn't sure how I would feel about having to remove tissues from their original packaging and transferring them to this box (the original tissue box will not fit in these wooden boxes) so purchased just one to start with, but have found it's no trouble transferring them. I did "disinfect" the wooden interiors as best I could using a clorox wipe before using. We use a lot of tissues at our house with my husband's allergies and these get heavy use. The latch locks and hinges seem solid on all and are holding up well.

Be Aware a regular square kleenex box DOESN'T fit inside, however removing kleenex from original box & placing in this does work fine. To save on tissue cost I'll probably use regular kleenex & just fold in half since that's how square boxed tissue is packaged.I did have to sand the round opening, both levels as you may see in my photo, because the tissues caught & tore when pulling them out through top prior to sanding. Not a huge inconvenience but makes it less frustrating to use.I was a little disappointed in the color difference from ordering photo provided. It's more RED & Gold in person but I will paint or stain it to my liking, all white or antiqued white might be nice. It is sturdy. Hinge is made to hold lid open when filling which is nice.Thinking Outside The Box:This could be used as a decorative storage box by glueing a decorative piece over top hole😜. OR tossing your spare change into through top, easy retrieval with lid but spare change is out of sight.

FITS PERFECTLY IN THE CORNER OF SMALL VANITY COUNTER TOP. TISSUE FROM CUBE BOX FITS PERFECTLY, JUST TAKE TISSUE OUT OF THE BOX IT COME IN AND INSERT IN THIS TISSUE COVER BOX COVER. I DID FIND IT NECESSAY TO PAINT THE TISSUE HOLE OPENING WITH CLEAR NAIL POLIISH (OPENING IS A LITTLE ROUGH). I FOUND A LITTLE TREASURE BOX THAT IS A CLOSE MATCH ON AMAZON. CHECK OUT SICOHOME TREASURE BOX, ASIN B01D2ZM8SQ. I KEEP MY BATHROOM DEORDIZER SPRAY CANS HIDDEN OUT OF SITE IN THE TREASURE BOX. JUST REMEBER BOX IS ONLY 9"" SO YOU NEED TO BE SURE YOUR CAN WILL FIT IN THE BOX IF YOU DECIDE TO USE IT FOR THAT..

Was looking for a decorative tissue box for my living room. I did read in the details that you had to take the tissues out of the packaging/box in order to use this cover. That seemed like no big deal. But when I loaded the cover, I immediately realized this was NOT going to work. Even without the cardboard box, the tissues barely fit inside. But worst of all, the box is made of wood (which I thought was nice), but it turns out this is terrible. Where they cut a hole in the wood for the tissues to come out, they did not sand the wood or cover the opening with anything to make it smooth. As a result, the tissues simply shredded as I tried to pull them out. It was terrible and I immediately returned it. It's too bad bc it was cute.

Such an elegant tissue holder! A nice, small size. Exactly as described. I appreciate that the company listened to previous customers' suggestions to smooth the rough edge of the dispensing hole in the lid, because they complied! It's smooth and dispenses tissues perfectly without tearing the tissue. I also appreciated previous customers' explanations that tissues need to simply be taken out of the cardboard cube, in which the tissues are purchased, and placed in the tissue holder, as the design is too small to hold the cube. Not a problem at all, very nice to know to expect that, and it only took seconds to complete the task.

This tissue box "cover" is awesome. Please note, some reviewers have said their tissue box doesn't fit inside. It's not intended to! Per the product details in the description, you take the tissues out of the cardboard box and put them directly in this tissue box. Simple. And yes, the wood around the hole the tissues come out of is a little coarse, but I did a quick sanding around it (5 seconds!); the tissues don't catch on the wood at all with this quick fix. All-in-all an awesome addition to my living room!
