Okay, I admit, I almost hate to tell you how much we love these iron rods because I’m afraid their Amish crafters won’t be able to keep up with the demand. Talk about solid! Talk about beautiful! Talk about practical and simple & elegantly so!! We have hemstitch & linen & pinstripe curtains & roman shades hanging from them – all enhanced by these black beauties. These would make William Morris proud!

These are great brackets. I had been searching a while for some nice sturdy, yet decorative, brackets that wouldn’t cost an arm and a leg and wouldn’t be overly designed. Other brackets that I’ve seen have either no style (the basic, somewhat flimsy type that you get from DIY home stores), or there was a bit too much style (the art deco type with lots of swirls and loops). These are basic yet still have a lot of style. What you see is what you get. They also have a nice heft to them. They are in no way flimsy. I would defy anyone to try to bend one of these things with their bare hands. I used mine to create shelving for videos and DVDs; however, with proper mounting these could easily take on the heaviest books. These are a great find. A great price for a quality product.

I purchased this tissue holder for our log cabin home. It is screwed into our wooden vanity that is made from tongue and groove pine. One of the reasons I bought this holder was because it appeared you could install it with the screw holes pointing up or down. I needed to have them point up to cover the holes made in our vanity by the previous holder which are located in a groove. For our application, this worked out well. We had a bit of a problem getting black screws that would work with our installation and because the screws are located in a groove, the holder shifts a bit. What would improve this product? I would make it a bit smaller lengthwise so the toilet paper roll doesn’t slide all over the place. It is big enough in thickness that a double roll fits with ease.

If you like the look of wrought iron or need some strong hooks, these are for you! You supply your own screws (I lightly hammered my screws into a piece of wood and spray painted them black to match), and inserts if needed. I am hanging heavy pieces of cast iron from them in my kitchen – I used two pairs of pliers to twist each hook 90 degrees from the portion with the hole – as they are the perfect size for the handles.

I can’t find these kinds of hooks and racks for anything close to these prices, plus delivery from the Emporium is always expedient. Once again, perfectly simple… and handmade in the USA, hooray!

My kids can’t figure out how to pinch tradition paper holders together to get the old roll off. Consequently, they NEVER put the new roll on (ARGH). With this type they have no excuse. Surprisingly the roll doesn’t come off when you pull on it either. Craftmanship is excellent. I bought the matching towel bars too and am pleased with the quality at such an excellent price. I remember I had to supply my own screws for the towel bars, and I think that may have been the case with this as well. Sheetrock screws work great. I have it on my antiquey marble top vanity. Looks perfect.

I wish there were a better looking piece that goes into the wall, it just screws in. I painted the screws black so that looks better, but either way its the least expensive good looking thing I could find for holding the paper! Shipping quick, no probs. Thanks!
