Zack Matos Kitchen Roll Holder

German Precision. Worktop Permanence.

The Zack Matos Kitchen Roll Holder is a freestanding paper towel stand built to the exacting standards that define German kitchen design. Crafted from premium 18/10 stainless steel with a matt brushed finish, it brings a clean, contemporary authority to the worktop that cheaper alternatives cannot match. The extra-heavy base is the engineering detail that matters most: it provides the kind of stability that makes one-handed tearing genuinely effortless, resisting the tug of a full roll without needing to be anchored or weighted down separately.

Soft rubber feet on the underside of the base protect delicate worktop surfaces — stone, wood, ceramic, and composite — from scratching, a considered detail that speaks to the Matos's broader design philosophy. At 33.2 cm tall and 15 cm in diameter, it has the proportions to hold any standard kitchen roll without crowding the worktop, and the matt brushed finish resists fingerprints to maintain its appearance through daily use. Whether positioned beside the hob, near the sink, or on a kitchen island, the Matos earns its place in plain sight.

How to Use

Slide your kitchen roll onto the stem from the top and place the Matos holder on any flat surface. No assembly is required. To replace the roll, lift the empty tube clear and slide on a fresh one. Wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth. For more stubborn marks, a mild detergent can be used. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which can scratch the brushed finish. Dry thoroughly after cleaning to prevent water spots.

Why the Matos Stands Apart

Zack is a German design house with a reputation built on precision engineering and considered aesthetics. The Matos reflects that heritage: the extra-heavy base is not simply a heavier version of a standard base — it is specifically engineered to provide the optimal balance of weight and footprint for stable one-handed use. The rubber feet are not an afterthought; they are a deliberate choice to protect the surfaces the holder lives on. These are the details that distinguish a well-made kitchen accessory from a merely functional one.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does 18/10 stainless steel mean?
18/10 refers to the chromium and nickel content of the steel — 18% chromium and 10% nickel. This composition gives the steel excellent corrosion resistance, a high-quality surface finish, and long-term durability, making it the standard used in premium kitchen products.

Will it fit a standard kitchen roll?
Yes. The Matos is compatible with all standard kitchen roll sizes widely available in UK supermarkets. The open-top design makes loading and changing rolls quick and straightforward.

Is the base heavy enough to prevent tipping?
Yes. The extra-heavy base is specifically engineered to resist the tug of a full roll during one-handed use. It is one of the most stable freestanding kitchen roll holders available at this price point.

Will the rubber feet scratch my worktop?
No. The soft rubber feet on the underside of the base are designed to protect delicate surfaces — including stone, wood, ceramic, and composite worktops — from scratching during normal use.

How do I clean it?
Wipe with a soft, damp cloth. For more stubborn marks, use a mild detergent. Avoid abrasive sponges or harsh chemical cleaners, which can dull or scratch the brushed finish. Dry thoroughly after cleaning to prevent water spots.

Does it need to be assembled?
No. The Matos arrives ready to use straight from the box — simply place your kitchen roll on the stem and position the holder where needed.

How does the Matos compare to the Zack Cuna?
Both the Matos and the Cuna are crafted from 18/10 stainless steel with a matt brushed finish and an extra-heavy base. The Matos is marginally lighter at 0.83 kg versus the Cuna's 0.885 kg, and is available in a single brushed finish. The Cuna is also available in a matt black finish for those who prefer a darker aesthetic.
