Whole thing is made from plastic and feels a little flimsy due to the single mount point in the centre. The part where you hang the paper towel roll/towels on is only finished (rounded) on the one side. the back of it is flat and shows the plastic crosses (not really sure how to explain it; it's just open and it looks bad). The worst part is it's not long enough to fit a roll of Bounty paper towels...
