Perfect Tear Paper Towel Holder

I have had this paper towel holder for almost a year. It is stainless all over except the very base with has a thin black padding to protect the surface top. This holder fits my style perfectly and it is very functional. I grab paper towels one handed all day long and I won't have it any other way. It's harder to tear store brand towels, but a little wrist action goes a long way. I dont really see a need for the short arm that I'm assuming is meant to help you tear, I don't even need it. The stainless DOES require stainless steel care. When I clean my stainless appliances, I use the polish on the cloth to give this a wipe down too to keep it like new. Water spots will show on it, so don't keep it sitting in water or run this through the dishwasher. I love this so much people have asked me where I got it, and I got one for my mother for Christmas! Great product!
