With its wide and heavy duty stainless steel base and durable tension arm, this free standing paper towel holder keeps your paper towel roll securely in place whether cooking, baking, or washing. The heavy weight and non-slip design keeps the paper towel holder from sliding out of place or scratching the surface of a table or counter. Replenishing the paper towel stand is a breeze. Press the button on top to remove the knob shaped finial. Slide on a fresh paper towel roll on the center post and place the spring arm on the paper towel roll. The cleverly designed tension arm provides a convenient one- handed tear. Reattach the knob on top to keep the paper towel to lock in place. The unit is easy to clean. Simply wipe clean with a damp cloth. Dry thoroughly.
