I would say that whoever is making this item, is laughing all the way to the bank. It’s pretty flimsy and the finish is a simple grey powder coating. I think it would have looked much more high end in a chrome finish. 

It was on sale but even the sale price is robbery in my opinion, considering it’s essentially just a bent piece of metal. I ended up putting it in the garage and got a much better one for less money at Canadian Tire.

As with everything you buy, it has to suit your particular needs. I mostly use the type of paper towels that can be torn in smaller sheets but in order for them to tear when you give them a tug, there needs to be some kind of resistance on the roll or a whole bunch of sheets unroll all at once. With one hand dirty and only one left to tear a paper towel, this design doesn’t work at all.
