Know before you buy
Yes, the Buddy Napkin Holder is designed to hold napkins securely in a vertical position. The molded figures provide enough structure to keep both cocktail and larger dinner napkins upright.
The matte, soft-touch finish is generally easy to maintain. While it has a tactile, non-slip feel, it does not typically show fingerprints, though you can easily wipe it down with a damp cloth if needed.
The holder features a padded underlayer designed to grip surfaces and prevent scratching. While it is lightweight at 8 ounces, the padded base provides enough stability for standard tabletop use.
You can certainly use it outdoors, but keep in mind that it is a lightweight plastic design. It is best suited for calm, indoor settings or sheltered outdoor dining areas where wind won't easily tip it over.
The Buddy Napkin Holder measures 6 x 3.5 x 3 inches. Its compact footprint makes it ideal for smaller surfaces like side tables, coffee tables, or crowded kitchen counters.
