simpletome Under-Cabinet Paper Towel Holder with Sprung Arms, Pearl Chrome Silver

A rail that fixes to the underside of a wall cabinet, holding the roll clear of the worktop. Sprung arms press against each end of the core so a sheet pulls away cleanly while your other hand stays on the pan.

• Roll fit: sized around an 11 inch / 28 cm roll; the maker says rolls between 9.5 and 11.8 inches also load, with shorter ones simply sitting loose on the bar
• Mounting: a pre-applied adhesive strip, plus two screw sets - short screws for fixing upward into a cabinet base, longer ones for driving sideways into a wall
• Weight: 1.01 lb
• Finish: silver bar, 3 mm thick, with a black roll head

Material conflict. The product name calls the bar aluminium alloy with ABS, while the attribute field records Alloy Steel. The attribute field is what the catalogue publishes, so the metal should be read as alloy steel until the maker restates it.

Two different sizes are on record. The measurement field gives 12.91 by 3.62 inches; the written description gives 13 by 3.15 by 5.71 inches. Neither has been checked against the other, so both are quoted here rather than one being picked.

Spring count. Six springs are mentioned, said to sit at both ends, which leaves it unclear whether six is the total or the number per end.

If you go the adhesive route, press firmly for a good 15 to 30 seconds onto a smooth, sound surface and leave the bar unloaded for a day before the first roll goes on. Powdery or textured walls call for the screws instead.
