Works good now that I got it together right. The instructions are horrible. The tape does slide off, but if you use both the holders together on one side(one on each side of the tape to keep it from sliding off) it works good. Also there are some metal bushings that go inside the tape holders that are not in the instructions. I eliminated a couple of the plastic pieces for the paper. Basically from outside in, had plastic piece, spring, washer and paper roll. The other side from paper roll out, had washer, spring and plastic piece. Hope that makes sense!!
