Freestanding or wall-mounted toilet paper holder: which is better?

Across the reviewers we read, freestanding holders win on flexibility and renter-friendliness (no drilling, easy to relocate) while wall-mounted holders win on stability and floor space. Specialist home-decorating subreddits repeatedly recommend freestanding stands for small bathrooms where pipes or tile prevent drilling, and wall mounts for households that want the cleanest visual line.
