could I used this oak paper towel holder without mounting it?

I asked my husband since he was the one mounting it and he said, "No." It is designed to be mounted.

No, you can't use it without mounting it to either the wall, kitchen counter (somehow) or like we did using the underside of kitchen cabinet. Your idea is a good one IF it had a weighted base and rubber feet so it wouldn't slide on the counter.

No, it can't be hung vertical. The rod and paper towel roll would not stay in the holder.

You can mount it directly on the plate, but I don't recommend that method. The free quick release plate will be good enough or you can use your own.

Asked my hubby who installed it, and he said he more than likely bought screws to fit (not using the one's enclosed with the product). We also mounted it on the outside of a cabinet, so not a very thick piece of wood. Love the holder, it allows for more counter space now.

We bought the rack a couple of months ago and felt that it was heavy enough plus towels that it should be mounted in the studs of the wall. I wouldn't mount it on a hollow door but it may work on a solid wood door. Our towels are thick enough that we have to wiggle them out of the rungs of the towel holder a bit - that may cause some loosening if not mounted on something substantial. We love it though - looks great and works so well in our bathroom!

Hi :) I think it is possible but it would be a tight fit. I would not recommend it. However , I am sure all paper towel holders similar to this style would be a tight fit if you used extra large paper towels.

You should be able to mount it on a horizontal bar (which I haven't tried). The holder does rotate on plastic gear teeth, like a ratchet.

Yes Susan, but I use a cutting board to keep the surface looking nice. You can put paper towels at one end with the holder provided, but we took it off to allow more space in my small kitchen.

Can this be mounted to a tile/granite wall? Without screws? What would I use?

Yes. that is how I mounted mine. My old one was the kind that holds the roll in by tension at both ends, this one does not. So no matter which way you mount this, you have to touch the roll when pulling off a paper towel to prevent it from spinning around, but it's not an issue for me. It's a nice paper towel holder, better than anything else I have ever found in any store-I recommend it! Hope this helps-

Today at 10:54 PM This item CAN be mounted to the underside of a cabinet, but I do NOT recommend doing so. We originally mounted it that way, and every time you tried to pull off a paper towel, the entire roll fell. It got to be so annoying that we just replaced the entire thing and went with an $6.00 Rubbermade holder. Not as pretty, but WAY less aggravating! Hope this helps.

I know that this is an old question but I just saw it.We have the wall mount version of this holder that we bought from Amazon some time ago for our bath and love it. We mounted it vertically rather than horizontally and have had no problems with it at all. I just found it on Amazon at: Simplehuman Wall Mount Paper Towel Holder, Stainless Steel I am about to order this one for our kitchen.

Yes this towel holder can be mounted vertically, I have done so in my laundry room,however, it does not repose at true vertical which does not bother me as it works beautifully. If you are a very neat person this off kilter effect may not be for you.

Yes, but check the screw length. The length of the included screws was wrong for our cabinets. I don't remember the length of the included screw, but believe they were too long and would have gone through the bottom. Shorter screws worked well and it is solidly attached to the cabinet base. This is the best towel holder we've ever had. So easy to use.

There is no mounting hardware, but I suppose it could be done. It is so small, I just put it away when not in use.

Yes, however it is not designed to be used without mounting to a wall or solid surface. You may want to look for a dryer that matches more closely to your requirements.

Is there a towel holder that rest on the towel rack that does not need to be mounted. I saw one at a party. she placed it between the towel rack and wall. It looked similar to this one. Would this work similar to the one I saw at the party or does this need to be mounted on the wall?
