Disappointed - Waste Paper Bins

Let me start by saying that this is a well made product. However, this is not a functional toilet paper holder. It only holds two "regular" size rolls. Yes, it's well made, but you could hurt yourself if you're not careful. The lid has no handle. To pull out the toilet paper, you need to put your hand in the hole in the lid to remove the lid. The first time I did this, I scratched my finger on something sharp inside the lid. After realizing that a large roll of toilet paper wouldn't fit in, I decided to use it as a candy box for wrapped sweets. I filled the basket, placed my hand over the hole in the lid, and shook the candies to mix up the variety of flavors. As I covered the top with my hand and shook the candy, my hand hit another sharp shard or something and I ended up with a splinter in the middle of my arm. It took some effort, but I was finally able to remove the splinter. For the price I paid for the toilet paper holder I was very disappointed in the product. We must find another use for it.
