VAEHOLD Paper Towel Holder Stainless Steel

If you want paper towels within reach without taking up counter space, an under-cabinet bar can help keep the roll off the work surface. If you’d rather avoid drilling, this VAEHOLD holder also offers an adhesive mounting option, but that route depends on having a suitable wall surface. The set includes two holders, each with a 12 1/2-inch bar. Its stainless steel construction and choice of installation methods make it most relevant for kitchens where placement and mounting flexibility matter.

Highlights

Each holder is made from stainless steel and has a polished finish, the product description also calls the surface rustproof. The bar is designed to hold a paper towel roll beneath a cabinet or on a wall, leaving the counter clearer for food prep or everyday kitchen tasks. Two holders are included, so you can plan separate spots for paper towels rather than relying on one fixed location.

There are two ways to install it: use the adhesive pad or drill and attach it with screws. The adhesive method avoids making holes, while drilling gives you another option when sticking the holder to the surface isn’t suitable. The edges are described as polished and free of sharp edges, a useful detail when you’ll reach for the roll often.

Size & fit

The bar measures 12 1/2 inches long, and the mounting plate measures 5 7/10 x 1 7/10 inches. Check the intended spot against these measurements, including clearance for the roll and your hand when tearing off a sheet. Under-cabinet placement can keep a roll accessible without putting it in the way of items stored or used on the counter.

The adhesive pad is specified for smooth surfaces such as wood, ceramic tile, marble, metal, and glass. Keep in mind that the adhesive is not suitable for limestone, wallpaper, painted walls, or uneven surfaces. From the way it is set up, the non-drill option is practical only when the mounting surface fits those requirements, drilling is the listed alternative for other surfaces.

Tips for day-to-day use

Before mounting, choose a spot where the roll can turn freely and is easy to reach while you’re cooking or cleaning up. For example, placing it under a cabinet near your prep area lets you pull a sheet with one hand without shifting items across the counter. Measure first, then position the plate so the bar doesn’t interfere with nearby storage or routine kitchen movement.

If using the adhesive pad, use a smooth surface listed for that method and press the pad firmly for a few seconds, as the instructions specify. If the wall is painted, textured, or otherwise unsuitable for adhesive, use the screw installation method instead. A solid pick if you want an accessible roll holder and can match the mounting method to your surface. It might not be a great match if you need to attach it with adhesive to wallpaper, paint, limestone, or an uneven wall.

Questions before you buy

Can it be installed without drilling? Yes. The adhesive pad is one of the two listed installation methods, provided the surface is suitable.

Which surfaces are listed for adhesive mounting? Smooth wood, ceramic tile, marble, metal, and glass are named. Painted walls, wallpaper, limestone, and uneven surfaces are excluded.

How much space does each holder need? The bar is 12 1/2 inches long, and the plate measures 5 7/10 x 1 7/10 inches. Leave room for the roll to turn and for your hand to reach it.

Is it worth it?

This holder makes sense if your main goal is to free up counter space and you want a choice between adhesive and screw mounting. The two-pack may also suit a kitchen where you want more than one roll location. Its main constraint is installation: adhesive mounting is limited to specified smooth surfaces, so it isn’t a universal no-drill solution. If your intended spot meets those surface requirements—or you’re comfortable using screws—the dimensions and under-cabinet format offer a straightforward way to keep paper towels close at hand.
