A great paper towel holder. You can replace the roll in seconds and then tear off individual towels without the roll spinning and paying out the entire roll. This is the second one I own. The first has been in operation for about three years and still looks great and works fine. There is one flaw - that being the mounting base is not parallel to the towel bar resulting in the Roll not appearing parallel (about 2 degrees ) to the mounting surface. My first one was the same way. Not a deal breaker, you can put a washer under one of the mounting screws to correct.
