I love, love this tiolet brush and stand. It is so perfect in its simplicity. It does the job, I like holding the handle, it's not slippery like plastic. It's beautiful so can sit in closet and right next to toilet. I've had it for months and it hasn't lost its shape. I don't use heavy duty cleaners so it's held up really good, I use castile soap! It may not last like plastic but I can feel perfectly comfortable throwing this out or composting it. Keep plastic from the landfills!!!
