This paper towel holder is worth the price we paid. We had an ugly plastic towel holder just above our kitchen sink and frequently when someone would pull a towel off the whole roll would pop off. When I saw this on Simple Human I had to have it. It is so easy to put the top off and on to put a new roll of towels on and the towels stay on the holder. You can easily remove 1 sheet. We did attach ours vertically on the wall as that's the space we had. It looks nice on our wall.
