## Description

Unlike traditional mounted paper towel dispensers that are fixed in place, Tug Stand Up Paper Towel Holder gives you the option of moving it to where it's needed most. Its base is padded and weighted to help prevent it from sliding or scratching your expensive surfaces. Tug’s secret is the unique shape of its curved rubber spine which has been engineered to provide just the right amount of resistance; giving you an easy one-handed tear every time. Measures 6.5 x 6.5 x 13.5" (17 x 17 x 34 cm).

Review: Great. Just Great. - Buying a paper towel holder is like buying a car. You want something that's functional, stylish, and fits you as an individual. So as there are a variety of things to consider when purchasing a car, there are a variety when looking at paper towel holders. The first is to consider your usage of paper towels. I believe functionality and utility come first. The Umbra has a weighted base with a felt like material on the bottom. The holder is heavy enough for one to rip off a paper towel with a quick swipe and will not slide around the counter top. If you're like me, you usually only have one hand available at a time in the kitchen. One is sauteing zucchini, while the other reaches for something to clean up the tomato sauce you spilled. The need for a paper towel can be urgent, so it is necessary that a paper towel holder be stable. The nice thing about this paper towel holder, at least to someone with my considerations, is that you do not have a little bar on the side that is supposed to keep the roll from unrolling. I have found that those little bars are usually in the way of being able to rip off the appropriate number of paper towels. Which leads to my next consideration, which is that you should ask yourself whether you only need one towel at a time, or whether you need varying amounts depending on the situation and need. The thing that scared me away from the "single towel" rip paper towel holders was that I use a different number of towels for messes, cleaning, and napkin use. Sometimes I need one, other times I need three or four. On a side note, I use the smaller width cut of paper towels, so the number I need can be fairly particular. But, I don't want to have to make three or four rips. I just want to pull out a few length's worth of towels and take them at once. This paper towel holder certainly allows for that. Another reason I chose this paper towel holder is that you don't have to unscrew the top to access the entire roll. I have small children, cats, and a dog. Sometimes, taking the whole roll for a clean up is more convenient, so that I have what I need on hand at the mess. Finally, the paper towel holder is aesthetically and intellectually pleasing. The finish is sleek, looks good, and doesn't shout out, "Look at me!" Instead, the brushed finish tucks itself into the space of the kitchen nicely and warmly. Then, the design, filled with so many considerations of paper towel usage and functionality, remains simple and elegant. It is much like cooking, where one takes a variety of things to produce a pleasing flavor that is all it's own. I highly recommend the Umbra, but only if you find goodness in the reasons I've presented.
Review: It's sturdy, well made, and looks really nice! - This is a nice looking, sturdy, paper towel holder. It truly is a one-handed paper towel holder. It's very sturdy with a weighted bottom and I can pull out a paper towel and tear it off with just one hand without the paper towel holder sliding around on the kitchen counter or tipping over. It also will hold an extra large paper towel. It's well made, and looks very nice. It's well worth the money.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Am i doing something wrong? it doesn't grip the roll at all. when i pull a paper towel it just continues  to unravel. what helps?**
A: if this is a standard size paper towel roll then once you pull out to the piece you want, then you snap from the top down and it should tear off.  On the non standard roll then the inside roll can be larger, the snapping motion should still help this to work.  I have gone and tested rolls we have here and they are working correctly

**Q: What is the bottom made of? Is there a plastic or rubber bottom? –Wonder what would happen if water got trapped underneath.**
A: The bottom is a pad made of something like rubber foam. It feels kind of like craft foam kids would cut shapes out of but sturdier. If it gets wet, it dries quickly - this happens to me often as my faucet is high, so water splashes out of the sink. It has never been an issue, and I'm quite OCD about the kitchen. If it got wet, you could just dry it off with a paper towel or towel. This is the best paper towel holder I've ever had and I've had it for a few years. It looks really nice and you can easily get a paper towel off with one hand. I highly recommend it!

**Q: I just received this item; it has a nasty smell coming from the plastic. Has anyone had this problem, and if so does the smell go away?  Thanks.**
A: I have no smell coming from the rubberized black center, or noticed one when I received it, it maybe the newness of the recently made formed rubber center or base of the holder.

**Q: The rod that holds the paper towels is becoming loose and wobbles back and forth. Is there a way of securing it so it doesn’t  have all this movement?**
A: Ours does not wobble so I am sorry but I can be of any help!
