I can find paper towel holders all over the place. Many are stands, but I wanted to maximize my counter space, and I use the rolls with the smaller sheets. Since I'd already been surprisingly pleased with their towel rack and trash can, I figured why not. I'm glad I did. The handle is very easy to take on and off. It holds the roll on firmly and there is the right amount of tension that I have had no problem tearing off only one sheet.
