What spill?
You need to sop up a spill, but you have only one free hand—sound familiar? Luckily, this clever paper towel holder is standing by on the countertop. It’s built from powder-coated steel and wood (so, sleek and sturdy), with a slim bar on the side that makes it a snap to grab and tear what you need. Ahh...things are looking tidier already.

Not easy to use
There's an adjustable band that's meant to control how much "give" to the roll- not super easy to use. My paper towels always tear too close to the roll and I have to rethread.
Looks good
We both hate it !! It looks tidy and sleek and nice, but I guess we are just creatures of habit. It has been moved to the laundry room and it seems happy in there.

Okay
This towel holder is nice, not as helpful as I expected. You thread the towel through the feeder, to help rip it off more easily but the problem is that the paper frequently slips right back through it after you rip off a towel. This means you have to manually keep re-feeding it through. Not serving the point so much!
