A tissue dispenser is provided by which a user may access one or more rolls of tissue. The dispenser generally includes a base and a cover. The dispenser includes at least one spindle, and preferably left and right spindles, with each spindle being supported by and extending from the base. The dispenser also has a plurality of sleeves interchangeably disposed on the shafts of the spindles. Each sleeve has an inner diameter dimensioned to receive a corresponding spindle, and an outer diameter. A plurality of fins is radially disposed on the outer diameter of the sleeve to circumferentially support the inner diameter of a core of a tissue roll. Different sleeves having different outer diameters to accommodate tissue rolls having different core sizes are provided. The dispenser may also include a door assembly configured to selectively cover a tissue roll on either the left or the right side of the base. A plurality of snap fittings configured to releasably attach to the door assembly may be provided. Each snap fitting has a different height to prevent the premature movement of the door assembly by the user from one side of the tissue dispenser to the other, depending upon the diameter of the core of the tissue rolls used.
