Tools and Hardware Reviews of simplehuman Wall Mount Grocery Bag Holder, Brushed Stainless Steel
Customer Review: Good looking and very funcional
Summary: 5 Stars
I just got this a couple of weeks ago and have been very pleased with it so far. The adhesive strips seem quite sufficient to hold it in place on the inside cupboard door where I mounted it. The cabinet space under the sink where the plastic grocery bags used to be in a pile is now delightfully uncluttered. I highly recommend this kind of simple organizational tool.
UPDATE: After having this for a while I'm still pleased with the concept, but the sticky strips failed pretty quickly. I drilled a couple holes into the inside of my kitchen cabinet and then found that the screw heads are really a bit too small to keep the bag holder securely in place. A trip to the hardware store and two big washers later the whole unit is securely in place. The manufacturers should provide more appropriate hardware (either screws with bigger heads or washers). I like the look of it, but it took more work than it should have to get it installed properly.
Customer Review: Great organizer and looks good too!

This has been wonderful. My husband reuses grocery store bags to take his lunch to work in. We originally put them into a used popcorn tin but he hates fumbling for them in the morning and tends to leave them on the counter which to me is unsightly! We also reuse them for our small trash cans in the rooms and bathroom, I store extra bags in the bottom of those containers but the difficult part was finding a place for them in the kitchen for hubby. This can mount to a smooth surface with the sticky strips on the back, just peel and stick, we have textured walls with semi gloss paint in the kitchen so I used the two screws to install instead of the stick strips, was easy to install and the screws are included with it. Looks very nice on the wall, not unsightly like some of the bag holders, and matches our stainless steal sink. I love it and recommend to others.Customer Review: Good design but it didn't work for me

I want to concur with the other comments about problems with this dispenser holding to a surface using adhesive. I think it has something to do with the surface to which it's being attached, the adhesive used, and the fact that you press down when you insert bags and pull out when you remove them.
When the supplied double-sided adhesive gave out (after a few weeks) I tried several different brands of double-sided tape. Nothing worked.
If I could have used screws then this would be perfect. Unfortunately the doors and sides of my cabinets are too thin for them to work well.
If you have some place where you can screw this down then it will be a perfect dispenser. If you will need to depend on adhesive then (as you can see from this and other reviews) some times it will work and some times it won't.
Customer Review: NO NO NO NO. Do not buy this!!!

Horrible. This thing falls off the wall constantly, it is hard to stuff bags in and hard to get them out. NO WAY does it hold the amount of bags it says.... after 20 they are in there so tight the thing just flings off the wall from all your PULLING. Plus, you have to hold it down with the other hand which just gets finger prints all over it. I am going to buy one of those simple fabric holders my mom used to have. Those held a ton of bags and it was easy to work it. Just hang the tube from a hook, simple. Save your time and money on this one....unless you are only looking for the "Bling bling" and could care less about it actually holding bags that you are going to need in the future. Oh yeah, I tried the sticky tape vs the screws and it pulled the paint off my pantry door. Nice! Thanks a lot Simplehuman!Customer Review: Finally a stylish (& simple) solution for grocery bags!

I first saw this grocery bag holder at my folks place about 1 year ago and it fit perfectly and discreetly inside their cabinet door. Given that I recently moved to a new apartment (and I'm a procrastinator), I finally purchased the bag holder to help me get more organized around the kitchen. Additionally, I now have to use grocery bags as my trash bags (since I live in a hi-rise and the trash chute only takes small bags), so this is the perfect storage container for grocery bags. I also purchased the simple human trash can (simplehuman Grocery Bag Trash Can, Stainless Steel ) to replace my old white trash can and put the grocery bags to work. Now if only simplehuman had a product to help with my cooking skills....
