Product Description

Color: White

The Casa tissue box cover by Umbra cleverly disguises the less-then-attractive paper boxes of most facial tissues. Constructed of easy-to-clean molded polypropylene in a range of hip colors, the house-shaped cover dispenses each tissue through its "chimney," like a whimsical puff of smoke. Casa measures 6-3/4 by 5 by 5-inch and fits standard boutique (cube-shaped) tissue boxes. Designed by Mauricio Affonso for Umbra- the worldwide leader in casual, contemporary and affordable design for the home.

2.0 out of 5 stars Pretty But Useless February 21, 2012

By Karen Y

If you're looking for a tissue box cover/holder for the purpose of weighing down the box, you should look elsewhere. I bought the Umbra Casa tissue box cover because I needed something that could keep my tissue box down while I lifted a tissue from my nightstand. It won out among all the other surely heavier covers because I loved the way it looked. This cover is made of very light plastic, and you will still need your other hand to hold it down while you remove a tissue.

5.0 out of 5 stars VERY cool, very modern way to work w/a tissue box January 25, 2012

I really don't like the way that store-bought tissue boxes look and the ones that are "arty" or have wild designs (Kleenex came out w/some fruit slices one time and I loved them) are more expensive, so I prefer to buy tissue in bulk and disguise it. We have modern decor, some vintage, some repro and this is nice, I love the color. The tissue comes out of the top like a little puff of smoke, it's funny. It's plastic and will be easy to clean and I don't have to worry about it breaking. This is an inexpensive, fun way to display those cardboard eyesores and always have a tissue in reach!

3.0 out of 5 stars Cute but too light June 1, 2012

By Emilyp

This is super cute and I love the idea of this tissue box cover! The only thing is that it's difficult to get the tissues out. The plastic it is made of is not weighty enough to stay grounded when you go for a tissue. Maybe the chimney should be on the top of the roof..... I don't know..... But it sure is cute!:)

4.0 out of 5 stars I Use It Differently January 7, 2013

By J. A. Silvasy

Color Name:White|Amazon Verified Purchase

I've seen those tissue boxes that lie on their sides, and I have actually tried putting my own tissue boxes on their sides, but you still need to hold them to get the tissues out properly. I turned this one on its side, but it also slides around. I'm going to put rubber feet on it to make it stable, then the tissues will come out without my holding the box. I like the narrower opening because it is easier to get out a single tissue.

I love love love the way this box cover looks. I just wish it had a bottom to it. SO many times I have grabbed it from the sides to move it and the tissue box comes out the bottom. Kind of annoying. I am going to try and big it somehow.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cutest Thing Ever! January 17, 2012

By Amy Amy

Color Name:White

Got this for christmas and I have to say, it is seriously adorable!! It's so clean and modern with a hint of humor. It's well made and easy to clean, and the tissue is very easy to pull out from the smoke stack. I smile every time I see that "plume" of smoke coming out of the chimney! I wouldn't usually get excited over bathroom accessories but this is one that's worth a jump for joy :)

5.0 out of 5 stars so fun! February 13, 2013

Love this - looks great and works perfectly. I was worried that the "chimney" would be too tight to allow the tissues to be pulled through, but it's no problem at all. Fun design!

3.0 out of 5 stars SUPER CUTE but hard to get the tissues out of February 12, 2013

By Maymay

Color Name:White|Amazon Verified Purchase

I love the idea and look of the box but when you pull the tissues out of it, it's hard to get out. The whole box of tissues and cover lift up and I basically have to wiggle the tissue out. I also dislike that there is no bottom (I knew about this beforehand but thought it wouldn't be a problem).

It might be the 3 ply tissues making it worse but prior to those i used a regular 2ply and it was doing the same thing (just not as tight).

Great for show, not for normal daily use...
