Acrylic Wall Mounted Paper Towel Holder

We bought this towel holder to mount under the kitchen cabinets. We mounted it with the open side of the hook toward the back wall, which causes problems when you apply pressure on the front side of the paper towels. It causes the roll of towels to fall off. We didn't mount it hook side facing us, because we didn't want it falling off the holder when you ripped the towels off the roll. It would have been nice if they had made the hooks holes instead where the bar slide through and made it secure no matter what way you mounted it. It does it's job, but you sometimes have to fix it when the roll falls off.

Just what I wanted, a simple one that has a rod going through the roll rather than attaching it from 2 sides.

I wish it was wood, but this is better. It goes perfectly on the wall.

I hoped that they would also give drywall anchors along with the screws. There is no way you would put both screws on the stud.

We've been trying to replace an old (reliable) but now broken acrylic paper towel holder. This one is worthless. First, there is no tension so when you grab a towel, you will have to hold the roll with the other hand or you will get way more than one towel. And second, depending on how you touch/hold the roll, the spindle easily knocks off the holder. It became a running joke at our house. Don't waste your time with this.
