SPIKER 12-Pack Beach Holder
Gatco 1434C Contempo Paper Towel Holder, Chrome
I am attaching a collage of 7 photos under customers photos that I will be referencing in this review.
Photo #1 shows everything included in the package disassembled: a 4 piece towel holder and hardware. The hardware include dry wall anchors. In this photo you can see the construction of the holder, it is spring loaded, and the holder is held in on both ends, so the roll paper towel does not fall off when you use it.
Photo #2 shows the towel rack assembled on the table on a 1 inch grid mat for size reference
Photo #3 shows the towel rack on the digital scale, it comes in at 1 pound 08 oz and feels very sold.
Installation was pretty easy because the pieces are small and easy to hold. You need a drill, a Phillips screw driver, and a pencil to mark where to drill. One thing instruction don't tell you is what size of drill bit you need: if you are installing into dry wall you will need the 3/16 drill bit. If you are installing into wood without dry wall anchor you will need 1/8 drill bit.
Once you attach the first holder side you need to decide how far from it to install the second side. Photo #4 shows what I did. I am holding the bar next to the mounts so you can see how much compression I allowed. This is where my mistake comes in. I should have measured the width of the paper towel, and made the width of the bar just barely fit the roll so the balls on the side of the rack are positioned touching (or maybe even just inside) the paper towel roll. I positioned them a little too wide (perhaps a quarter of an inch too wide). So the paper paper roll has a lot of play and easily unravels. Photo #6 shows how my paper towel fits on the bar. Unfortunately, instructions did not specify how best to determine the position of the screws.
Finally, the last photo shows how far the the holder protrudes from the wall about 2.5 inches.
Overall, this is a high quality very well made paper towel holder. I hope my installation tip will help others to position it a little better than I did.
Ali Julia reviewSpring-loaded so it holds papertowels snuggly. Don't have to worry about the papertowels flying off when tugged on. Easy to install and change the towels.

I have this paper towel holder and it looks and works great. Someone stole the bar that goes in the middle, wonder where I can find another.Read Best Reviews of Gatco 1434C Contempo Paper Towel Holder, Chrome Here
I purchased this item to install in my laundry room next to the sink. It is quality, solid brass with chrome plating, heavy, substantial, easy to install. It looks great and works quite well. I would only suggest that it be made to project further from the wall to accommodate the jumbo size rolls of paper towel. The expanding bar can be used with a toilet paper holder of another design to coordinate with other styles of towel bars etc. Overall I am quite pleased with this product.Want Gatco 1434C Contempo Paper Towel Holder, Chrome Discount?

This is so pretty. It looks like something you'd pick up at a local pottery shop or something. I really wanted something with a tropical theme but not something that looked too 'margaritaville' (not that there is anything wrong with margaritaville just not the look I was going for). We love it. Fast shipping too!IMAX Towel/Wine Rack

Pros:Color choices
Affordable cost
Adjustable rings
Cons:
Unstable base
Low height
Pretty much your standard tip towel stand. Yes, it is small, but most all tip towel stands (with rings) are made this way. It really depends on your tip towel too, they are made in different sizes. The plus to this model though is that the rings can be adjusted and will stay in position, so potentially it can hold your tip towel off the counter, but it looks funny if you raise the rings too much. It works pretty well with my tip towels, they just barely graze the counter; however, my major problem with the stand is that the base is not weighted enough, resulting in some instability when drying your hands and the stand may rock on its base and shift around the counter. But the main reason I bought this stand is because it was available in antique pewter, which is impossible to find for a towel stand--it's the only tip towel stand I could find that matches my bathroom set.
DELTA 79650-OB Delta Windemere Toilet Paper Holder, Delta Oil Rubbed Bronze
bought to upgrade gold colored hardware.
matches very well with other oil bronze accessories.Incredible how changing out all the "hardware" in our powder room from 1970s shiny brass to oil rubbed bronze could make such a difference!
We picked up the toilet paper holder, towel rod, cabinet door handles, toilet tank lever, and faucet! All great and so easy to install! Just ordered oil rubbed bronze door handle and door hinges! Renovation still under $200 and we now have an updated, great looking bath!

The quality is fine, but I was hoping to match it to other bronze accessories and it stuck out like a sore thumb. We are relocating this one to another bathroom.Can't speak to installation, since our trim carpenters did it at the end of the build, but it looks great and seems very durable.

InterDesign Swivel Wallmount Paper Towel Holder, Brushed Stainless Steel
For example, the "SimpleHuman" mounted paper-towel dispenser costs twice as much, has a big black knob at the end to screw on and unscrew, has a spring inside, and so on... But all those are things that can break, and are totally unnecessary.
However, *this* paper-towel holder is made up of only two pieces. It's never going to break. It uses the paper towel roll's gravity against the wall to provide enough resistance so you only tear off the piece you need. It accomodates a roll of any size. With the little hook at the end, it makes sure the paper towel roll never slides off accidentally, but rolls are effortless to remove and add. The minimalist metal matches virtually any decor. And finally, it's a normal, reasonable price.
It is, in short, the platonic ideal of a paper towel holder. If only everything else were so simple and reliable. I'm looking at you, toaster ovens!Having lived for over thirty years with a cheap plastic towel holder that was too small for today's larger rolls, a kitchen redo prompted me to buy this holder. It hangs inside the sink cabinet door and fits beautifully. However, even on public display it has a high quality, low key appearance that avoids the kitchy look of most paper towel holders.

The InterDesign Swivel Wallmount Paper Towel Holder, Brushed Stainless Steel is exactly as described. It is a very understated look but the metal is a very nice quality.It does comes with two 1-3/4" screws and two hollow wall anchors for drywall installation but I put it under the cabinet so I used shorter 3/4" screws. I did need to drill two holes in the wood first since the cabinets are sturdy but that was not a problem.
I was delighted to find that a huge roll of paper towels fits very nicely. Not much clearance is needed from the back wall since the towel bar does swing up for easy insertion of the roll.
I have attached three pictures that I hope help to describe the product.

This is going to be a short and quick review for this product. All in all, this was a great buy for the price paid. It is made of some heavy duty, feel good steel. Commercial grade product here that will last forever. I recommend this product for anyone looking for a real good product. They do not make products like this anymore. I hope this helps anyone out looking to buy this item from Amazon.Gatco 4750 Austin 5/8-Inch Diameter 24-Inch Length Towel Bar, Bronze

I smile every time I walk into my upstairs bath now. This is a beautiful addition to my attempts to make a stark bathroom be more warm and inviting. I'll be uploading a picture when I'm done writing this review I don't think the one provided does this curtain justice.If you had asked me a year ago if I would ever buy such a bold and "wild" design shower curtain, I'd have laughed. Then at Christmas, my husband got me a little bundle of brightly colored wash cloths because he heard me grumbling that when I wash my face twice a day with Ponds, I'm forever running out of wash cloths. He saw a little bundle of 12 at the store and thought it would make a nice stocking stuffer.
That was an inspiration for me... and I was off and running to redecorate the bathroom "around" those cloths (which are visible in the picture I'll upload).
What I LOVE about this curtain is that there are many more colors in it than are obvious in the pictures... like the deep eggplant purple is obvious in the large dots, but what you don't see as well are the much brighter shades of purples & pinks in the little curlycues drawn through some of the dots. The vibrancy of some of those colors is lost in the picture.
I'm using multiple shades of the primary colors purples, greens, browns, red/pinks throughout the bath. Deep eggplant rugs on the floor and as a seat cover really pulls it all together Shaw Living Ridgeway Nylon 21-Inch by 34-Inch Bath Rug, Eggplant and it really is a perfect match for the color in the curtain.
I can't speak to the water resistant quality of this curtain I use it with an oversized liner so I have no experience with water pouring directly on the curtain itself.
I am exceptionally happy with this purchase. I really do love what a difference this makes in how my bath looks & feels.The colors are fun, and the material feels pretty solid. I'm using this in conjunction with a liner, so I'm expecting it to last a long time. The holes are reinforced, so that shouldn't be a point of failure. My only quibble is that it would have been better if it were about 4-6 inches longer than it was, but of course, not measuring and assuming was an oversight on my part. So do yourselves a favor, and measure before you buy! I do like it...don't mistake me :

Spectrum Diversified 40500 Magnetic Paper Towel Holder
Some of the other models look more attractive but I really think the way this one blends in with a white fridge is better than a decorative option, it pretty much disappears.I needed something I could attach onto the side of my refrigerator as my space is limited where I could attach a standard paper towel holder. This is the perfect solution!! The magnet is huge and secures the holder and paper towels firmly to the surface and holds when paper towels are torn off. Highly recommend this product.

I used to have a magnetic paper towel holder that was better than this one, but I guess this is best one available now. I found that if it was placed horizontally, it would fall off the refrigerator every time I tried to tear off a towel. But if I place it vertically, and remember to always pull up to tear the towel, never down, it stays in place and is quite usable.Read Best Reviews of Spectrum Diversified 40500 Magnetic Paper Towel Holder Here
I really loved this product when it arrived at the house! However, at approx 1:00 in the morning (on the night after it arrived)the rack and roll of towels fell down-leaving the magnet stuck to the refrigerator. We used superglue to readhere the magnet to the foam that was stuck to the towel rack-which worked for a few days until the foam and magnet released the roll and rack again. I really think that there are better products out there-maybe one whose manufacturer uses a better adhesive? Anyway, it's in the trash now-what a waste of money!Want Spectrum Diversified 40500 Magnetic Paper Towel Holder Discount?
I really wanted to believe all the other reviews I read before I bought this. I really wanted them to be true. I am temporarily bedridden, and have a small refrige next to the bed to keep my water real cold. I planned to put the paper towel holder on the side of the fridge, in easy access. I even put it vertically, so the towels could release even easier.I had it in place less than four days when it fell, at 2 am...it woke me up. No one had touched it, it was 2am, and the paper towels and holder fell to the floor, but the magnetic strip that was on the back of the holder was now only on the side of the little refrigerator. The glue holding the strip to the back of the product had simply released in the middle of the night. I want to assure you it had nothing to do with the temperature either. It has been hot in Texas in the last several weeks, but I am lucky in that my spouse allows me to keep the thermostat on 70 degrees. So, temperature would not have been a factor.
I am planning to return this item and upgrade to the metal magnetic paper towel holder, at least there is no magnetic strip to come unglued. I had so hoped this wouldn't happen. C'est la vie!!

I bought two of these when we remodeled the guest powder room. They were directly mounted to the knotty pine wall boards. Instead of using the included drywall fastener I just substituted the appropriate sized wood screw. Very easy to install and looks great with the style of the 'new' powder room. I also bought the same style Moen paper holder, comode lever and robe hook. Very Pleased.Read Best Reviews of Moen YB2286BN Brantford Towel Ring, Brushed Nickel Here
I'm a contractor and install may different brands of towel racks and the related towel rings, tp holders, etc. I am very pleased with the quality and really feel that they are the easiest to install. Most any home owner would have no problem installing them themselves as long as they have a level. Normally I use my own better quality fasteners when I hang towel racks and the related items. These come with a self contained way to install them which I was impressed with. Needless to say, I recommend these.

This is a very sturdy holder, no matter how hard I 'yank' on the roll of towels, it has yet to tip, nice feature. The cherries on the holder are large enough to show up and have a true red color and the cherry leaves add to the illusion of real fruit. Its a very nice piece, and if you are looking for fruit decor, or cherry accents for your kitchen, I would reccomend this, without a doubt, very happy with purchase.Read Best Reviews of CHERRY Paper Towel Holder / Stand *NEW*!

I bought the Rosle system expecting German quality and engineering. This product arrived obviously defective with an end piece that was obviously broken and yet the product was still packaged and sent to me. This is a big bulky item so not an easy return and I didn't install the item immediately so Amazon won't handle a return after one month. I'll be contacting the manufacturer directly for a replacement part. Once the replacement part arrives, it appears as if the product will work well. This is why I gave two stars rather than one. But a bother and a disappointment for what should be a very good quality product.Want R?sle Kitchen Foil, and Plastic Wrap Dispenser Discount?

Old Dutch International Antique Embossed Standing Paper Towel Holder, 13-Inch
So, that being said, despite some relatively minor appearance issues this is a decent paper towel holder.This item is much darker then in the picture, and the finish is substandard (came with its own fingerpints in the paint) and I expect to last a few months as the tear off spindle does not tighten completely and leans as the wind blows. Unless you in love with a DARK antiques finish look elsewhere. We only purchased it as a match to the canaster set, same qualities

I agree with the reviewer who said the grapes on top look like a pine cone. The top piece didn't screw on very well either.
