Paper towel continues to spin!
Color: Warm Gold
The paper towel continues to spin because it does not have a buffer inside. So select a size paper towel does not work with this particular paper towel holder.

Simple, Solid, and Looks Great
Color: Antique Bronze
This is one of those simple things that just works exactly how you want it to.
First off, it looks really nice on the counter. The antique bronze finish has a slightly warm tone that doesn’t look cheap or overly shiny, and the design is clean enough to fit in with pretty much any kitchen style.
Assembly took maybe 30 seconds. You just screw the pieces together and it’s ready to go, no tools or fuss. Swapping out rolls is just as easy, and the top cap keeps everything in place without being annoying to deal with.
The weight is really what makes this stand out. The base is heavy enough that it stays put when you tear off a sheet, so you can actually use it one-handed without it tipping or sliding around. It feels solid and well made, not flimsy at all.
Size-wise, it fits a standard roll easily and still has room for larger rolls, so you’re not fighting to get a new one on.
Overall, it’s sturdy, looks good, and is genuinely easy to use day to day. It’s one of those upgrades that seems small but makes your kitchen feel a little more put together.

You will read this book late into the night or savor it for the next Day. :)
Format: Hardcover
What an amazing writer! Such clear and concise unfolding of events entwined with Biblical signs and Prophecy. Incredibly well researched and a joy to read. This book is a joy to read and while I'm trying to savor it, I can tell I will be reading this all night and rereading again. I want to gift this to my sister because I'm so impressed but I also want it in my collection. I will probably buy this book again for this reason. Exceptionally easy to focus and surrender to what God wants to impart in this book. Thank you for your clarity and love with this book.
