Loved But Unused
I adore this tissue box but am unable to use it because the tissues I buy don't fit -- this cover is built to completely hide only the shortest of tissue boxes (I buy Kleenex and Puffs brands, and both are too tall).

Still, I keep it on display (who wouldn't?) and plan to find a solution one day. Perhaps I'll get the right sized tissue box and just remove and refill it with my favorite brand when needed. I like it so much, it would be worth the effort.

(Someone else also mentioned that it tips forward if you stand it up -- it IS heavy in the face with a light black base and a simple elastic band to keep the tissue box attached. I've never been able to stand it up on its own -- it always tips forward -- but keeping it down doesn't take away from the effect.)

Tiki Tissue
Love the look of the Tiki Tissue holder. Dispensing tissues while Tiki Head is standing up is a tearing time, but it looks great in my island style house.

Great looking & good fun
Another reviewer complained that Rudy is not brown, that reviewer is correct....Rudy is not brown, he is a great mossy green color as I imagine old stones would look.

All the tips here in the reviews on how to put him up on his side (i.e., metal bookends inserted in bottom, paper-clip on wall w/leaves to cover, screw into wall...) are very helpful. Rudy also looks just great laying down.

I'm using him in a somewhat formal / antique(ish) dark wood bathroom and he looks fantastic ..... his colors fit in perfectly but he is a great source of humor..... I have him on top of a small book table, near the loo, that has some pretty funny bathroom humor books in it... never fails to get a laugh &/or remark.

My only small complaint would be that it is a little difficult to get the tissues to come out (the nose...lol) without tearing but after a few then it works well. Also, my favorite tissue Puffs Plus w/aloe, does not make a box or tissue that works well in this box... too bad, they are the best tissues.

All in all I am happy with this purchase and would definitely buy it again. I will be getting a few for gifts.
