Knew the counter towel holder wasn't tall enough to hold a regular size hand towel, but purchased anyway for the handy function in a small bathroom.  It is study, the towels just "drape" on the counter a bit.  It is pictured in "gold", but not available for sale.  As we also bought the standing towel holder, which does come in gold; had to go with silver on both items to have a  matched set..
