I'm hoping mine is an unlucky defect because I like how it looks and really want it to work in my kitchen. The spiral of metal that forms the base does not sit flat against the surface of the counter. The rubber pad under the tail end of the spiral has a gap between it and the counter, causing the holder to wobble. It's because the metal is slightly bent upwards. I plan on returning this one and re-ordering a new one. Hopefully it doesn't have the same issue. If it had been issue free and sat flush against the counter, I'd rate it 5/5.
