Know before you buy
This holder is designed for standard-sized paper towel rolls. If you frequently purchase extra-large or jumbo rolls, they may be too wide to fit comfortably on the spindle.
Yes, the vertical design is perfectly suited for holding extra toilet tissue rolls. It serves as a functional and decorative way to keep supplies accessible in a bathroom.
Constructed from solid cast iron and weighing 3 pounds, the holder provides a stable, weighted base. It is designed to stay upright during standard use.
The cast iron finish is durable and low-maintenance. Simply wipe it down with a soft, dry cloth as needed to remove dust or kitchen splatters.
While the base is solid cast iron, we recommend placing a small felt pad or coaster underneath if you are concerned about potential scratching on delicate surfaces like marble or glass.
