How many toilet paper rolls does it hold?
EXCELLO lists a roll quantity of 6. The rolls sit in the tic tac toe grid like O's, alongside the wooden X pieces, and the top panel is free for books, small plants or decorations.
What is it made of?
EXCELLO makes it from real wood with a natural texture and an unfinished, brown finish, and describes it as solid and strong. An intact unit feels solid and heavy and does not look fake or flimsy. As the wood is unfinished, keep it away from direct splashes.
I've read about pieces arriving broken. Is this common?
It is the main complaint. Durability and material quality draw the most complaints, and some owners report a split board or broken X pieces in the box. Some fixed minor damage with wood glue; others asked for a replacement, which can arrive quickly. Inspect every piece before assembly or drilling.
Can I actually play tic tac toe with guests using it?
Up to a point. The set can come with only three X pieces, which is fewer than a full game needs, so add a few extra pieces if you want to play properly. Plenty of owners use it playfully anyway, moving the X's around or swapping them for seasonal pieces like skulls, birds or eggs.
Is it wall mounted only, or can it stand freely?
Both. EXCELLO designs it to stand on the floor or mount to the wall with the included hardware. Wall mounting is straightforward with a drill and wall anchors, and it hangs very sturdily once the screws catch the fasteners.
Is assembly difficult?
No. Assembly is one of its strengths. EXCELLO includes all the accessories and simple instructions, and it can be assembled and hung entirely single-handed. The only fiddly moment tends to be getting the screws to catch on the fasteners when hanging it.
