This paper holder exceeded my expectations. I have two kitchens and have a very expensive stainless steel towel holder in one of the kitchens. I think I paid $70 for it.  This paper towel holder is easily a close second and for a fraction of the price. It does come unassembled but assembly is VERY easy. it also comes with  a self-adhesive bottom  that keeps it from scratching your counter as well as sliding around. Overall,  a terrific purchase.
