Sometimes online shopping is risky. You'll never be 100% sure it's what you want it to be until it's on your doorstep. I bought this broom holder after searching in big stores and found it empty. I wanted something made out of high quality metal that would hold the handles firmly but wouldn't have to struggle on my hands to get the broom out of the holder. And in the laundry where we pass it, I wanted it to look nice broom holder wise and not be terribly useful. This met all the requirements. Easy to install - give it a try. Holds objects - check. Easy to remove - check. And quite attractive - a check. This last requirement has been verified as the device comes with easy to install screw hole plugs. I didn't use tape.
