Using this Bobrick B - 2840 toilet paper dispenser with utility shelf is easy. First, simply place your toilet paper rolls on the chrome - plated plastic spindles.

Make sure to check the spindles regularly to ensure they are working smoothly. Also, when installing the unit, follow the instructions carefully to ensure it is surface - mounted securely.
