Good quality space-saving paper-towel holder.
Very happy with this. Before this, I had a free-standing vertical holder that sat on my counter, but that was taking up too much counter space in my tiny apartment kitchen, it was also loose & i knocked it over a lot, and I needed a change. I couldn't find anything that looked worth the money and high-quality-looking enough in my local retail stores, so i turned to Amazon. This item has just enough tension on the roll piece that it doesn't spin wildly and cause too many towels to unroll even when mounted horizontally, but still free-rolling enough that it's not a small struggle to turn or causing towels to tear before you're ready. The base piece is a sturdy metal piece that secures solidly to the wall, though you need to be sure to screw it in good and tight. Be sure to hold it to places where you're thinking of installing with a full roll on to make sure it'll be in a good spot where it won't block other items or be hard to reload. I haven't tried it with the adhesive strip, so i can't really speak to that.It comes with those plastic anchor pieces meant for putting in concrete or masonry, and the instructions that come with it assume you're going to use those and tell you to drill a 6mm hole. But if your wall doesn't fit one of those categories (most home walls built during or after the 1950s, at least in the USA), I'm pretty sure you don't really need the plastic pieces and you'll be better off starting with a smaller diameter nail or screw hole and just letting the screws cut into the wall on their own. Use a stud finder if you have one to try and get at least the holes closest to the "arm" joint into a stud if possible and also avoid electrical wiring. One of the four spots where i was gonna screw mine in ended up having a metal piece beneath the wall surface where I couldn't get the screw in, but it's still doing well after several days with only 3 of the 4 screws in.This has saved me some valuable counter space and aggravation and is definitely a quality item. Definitely worth the 14 bucks!
