Nambe

Pretty for counter and looks great next to stove. Not sure about the function of the wood for actual use but was looking at something for our non stick pans that wouldn’t damage. These are hand wash only so that might be an issue. Overall the aesthetic is great so let’s see if they are useful as well.

Beautiful with a huge functionality drawback

I bought this paper towel holder because I fell in love with the way it looks and because I already owned the fruit bowl, which is stunning. The paper towel holder is a piece of art with a serious functionality problem. You practically have to wrestle with the tension arm on the side to slide a roll of paper towels on. The arm presses so tightly against the roll — especially if it’s a larger roll — that it’s impossible to pull a section of towel off without grabbing the whole dispenser with two wet hands and pulling the arm back a little to be able to pull the piece of paper towels through. I’ve lived with this drawback for about six months now, and just ordered a new towel holder made by another company. I checked the reviews first to ensure it was easy to put rolls on and pull towels off. This Nambe holder is a weighty, substantial, total work of art and looks beautiful on my counter, but the functionality is totally missing unless the goal is to just display a roll of paper towels and not actually use them. I’d buy an updated version of this towel holder in a minute if they fixed the issue with the tension arm that holds the roll of paper towels in place.

It broke, not easy to use. Don’t know who to call.

A delightful symbol of friendship & lifetime loyalty!

These are an elegant little pair! I’m using them for decoration rather than for salt & pepper!
