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.

Doesn’t work but looks nice
It doesn’t work as expected- the one handed part of this item. But it looks nice and holds my paper towels, maybe it would work better with really thick paper towels! It does the job and looks great in my kitchen
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.
