The 9 Best Freestanding Toilet Paper Holders

Last Updated on August 22, 2023 by toilethaven

What is a Freestanding Toilet Paper Holder?

A freestanding toilet paper holder is a type of toilet paper holder that does not require any form of mounting but is rather placed on the bathroom floor closer to the toilet. Freestanding toilet paper holders may or may not have a toilet paper storage compartment.

The freestanding toilet paper holders are more ideal for people with a big bathroom. When you have a small bathroom, you want to make use of every inch of space.

For those with a small bathroom, a wall-mounted, tank-mounted, suction, or recessed toilet paper holder makes more sense. This is because these are off the floor, therefore, giving you the much-needed bathroom space.

I love the freestanding toilet paper holders because they are so stylish and modern. Toilet paper rolls on the wall are what we grew up seeing, which makes the freestanding ones a much-welcome idea.

One thing to be careful about while buying freestanding toilet paper is its stability. Since these holders are not mounted on the floor, there is a chance that it will topple once you pull down a roll of toilet paper. In this review, I have made sure that I have taken that into consideration.

Before going on further, I would just like to say that the correct way to hang toilet paper is over the toilet paper holder, but nothing stops you from hanging it under if it works for you.

The Best and Unique Freestanding Toilet Paper Holders

While writing this post, I have made sure that the holders I review herein are the very best in my understanding. I know there might be other good ones out there, which I would be happy to see in the comment section.

In choosing the best freestanding toilet paper holders, I took into consideration a few factors which I consider critical. These include sturdiness, material, height, brand, and cost, among others.

The following are the 9 best freestanding toilet paper holders:

1. Moen Stockton Freestanding Pivoting Toilet Paper Holder

Moen is an industry leader in the manufacturing of quality bathroom appliances, and this one is no exception. It is a single-roll pivoting toilet paper holder made with a brushed nickel finish from zinc or brass.

A pivoting post is a really innovative idea that allows you to easily replace a toilet paper roll, unlike the usual spring-loaded post. The toilet paper roll post and the entire holder are nicely finished with fine details that make the whole piece so beautiful.

Another feature I really like about this toilet paper holder is the wide round base. This is important as it gives it the required stability and will, therefore, not topple over while being used.

This piece will handle both regular-sized toilet paper rolls as well as big ones. The one bad thing you can say about it is that it does not offer a storage section for extra toilet paper rolls.

From the floor to the top of the holder, it measures 22 inches, while the base support has a diameter of 6.25 inches. It is, therefore, not very tall but will work just fine. It has the Moen lifetime warranty.

2. Excello Free Standing Toilet Paper Holder

If you are looking for a product that will give your bathroom that vintage look, then the Excello free-standing toilet paper holder fits the bill. It is made from industrial cast iron pipe with a stained wooden base.

Its cast iron pipe has several joints, which further adds to this holder’s detail and uniqueness. The pipe’s black finish stands out, especially because most bathroom walls and appliances have bright colors and hence a nice contrast.

With this holder, you will be able to dispense one toilet paper roll at a time, while the free-standing pipe storage has the capacity to store 4 extra rolls. The rustic wooden base makes this holder very sturdy while at the same time making sure the stored rolls remain dry.

This toilet paper holder has a height of 28 inches which is very comfortable to draw toilet paper rolls from. Its wooden base has a width of 15.75 inches and a depth of 7.75 inches. It is made in the USA by Excello Global Products, which has been in this business for more than 5 decades.

3. TomCare Freestanding Toilet Paper Holder

This is another cool, beautifully designed, and affordable toilet paper holder. It has 3 sections which are the toilet paper rolls storage, the toilet paper roll dispensing post, and a small shelf at the top. You can choose from a rose gold, silver, or bronze finish.

I love that you can have your phone on the top shelf because, personally, if I’m watching something and I feel the urge to use the bathroom, I head there with my phone. You just simply put your phone on the shelf, do your business, grab toilet paper, and the rest is history. The shelf measures 6.49 inches in width, 3.54 inches in depth, and 1 inch in height.

In case you are wondering how stable this holder is, I can confirm to you that it will not roll easily. It is also made from high-quality steel with beautiful finishes and will, therefore, not rust.

I also love the fact that the manufacturer gives you a 45-day money-back grace period in which, if you don’t like it, you can return it. That’s the confidence they have in their product. It also comes with a one-year warranty.

The overall height of the toilet paper holder is 25 inches. You can use both regular size as well as big sizes of toilet paper with it.

4. Gatco Modern Freestanding Toilet Paper Holder

The Gatco modern freestanding toilet paper holder is a simple but elegant and stylish holder with a weighted rectangular base. It is available in brushed brass, matte black, satin nickel, and chrome finishes.

There are 2 models of this toilet paper holder. One will give you the option to store extra toilet paper rolls in the upright post, while the other will not. Personally, I prefer the one without the roll storage because it stands out beautifully.

The rectangular weighted, and padded base ensures that this holder is sturdy and stable. You can use this with regular-sized or big toilet paper rolls.

The overall height of the toilet paper holder is 21.13 inches, while the rectangular base measures 7.88 inches in width and 5.13 inches in depth. Gatco gives you a 100-year warranty once you purchase this product.

5. Simple Houseware Freestanding Toilet Paper Holder

If you are looking for a freestanding toilet paper that can dispense as well as store extra toilet paper rolls, then this would be a good one. It dispenses one roll and stores 3. The finishes available are chrome and bronze.

The best thing about this toilet paper holder is that it is perfect for a small bathroom since it is lightweight, and you can lift it and place it on the front or the side of the toilet. It holds regular-sized as well as big toilet paper rolls.

When you buy this holder, it will come in 2 parts which are very easy to put together. Replacing toilet paper rolls is also so easy even young kids can do it comfortably.

The total height of the holder is 23.5 inches, while the widest diameter (at the base) is 7.25 inches. It weighs 1.9 pounds.

6. mDesign Freestanding Toilet Paper Holder

This specific mDesign freestanding toilet paper holder model has toilet paper rolls dispensing posts, a storage compartment, and a shelf at the top. It dispenses one toilet paper roll at a time and stores 2. Whether you use regular-sized or big toilet paper rolls, this holder will handle them just fine.

I really like the small shelf at the top. It gives you somewhere to place some of your personal belongings like mobiles or keys. There is no shortage of tales of people who dropped their phones in the toilet. Avoid that!

The mDesign toilet paper holder also comes in so many finishes which gives you a variety of options to match it with your other bathroom items. It is available in chrome, satin, graphite, matte black, bronze, and rose gold.

This holder is 7.5 inches wide, 5.25 inches deep, and 23.1 inches high. It is rust-resistance, durable, easy to clean, and lightweight, weighing only 2.2 pounds.

7. X-cosrack Freestanding Toilet Paper Holder

If you love spending time in the bathroom doing more than just the obvious, then this toilet paper holder is for you. It is a freestanding toilet paper holder with a magazine rack, toilet paper storage, and a shelf to hold phones and even tablets.

The holder dispenses one roll at a time and stores six. It works with both the regular size as well as the big sizes of toilet paper rolls. If you don’t wish to store that many toilet paper rolls at the same time, you can use the space to store magazines, books, and other reading material.

The wide, padded, and weighted base gives this holder much-needed stability.  It’s also pretty easy to install and comes with the necessary mounting gear. You may choose the black or dark brown finish option.

The overall height of the holder is 31.3 inches, while the bottom storage compartment is 11.8 inches wide and 6.1 inches deep. Its weight is 3.64 pounds.

8. Kingston Claremont Freestanding Toilet Paper Holder

This is a high-quality freestanding toilet paper which is always the case with anything associated with the Kingston brand. It is available in brushed nickel, oil-rubbed bronze, and polished chrome and is made from solid brass and stainless steel.

This design is simple but practical. It holds a single toilet paper roll at a time, and if you are asking how to change a roll, then it’s as simple as ABC. You just push the roll inside from the open end. In case you would like to add extra rolls to the storage section, the horizontal bra flips upwards so that you just push them down.

The rectangular weighted base makes this holder very sturdy and will, therefore, not topple while pulling down a roll. I like that the base is not too thick, which would otherwise make the holder look old-fashioned.

This piece is 22 inches high, while the base measures 8 inches wide and 5.3 inches deep. This Kingston free-standing toilet paper holder is a bit pricey, but I guarantee you it is well worth it. 

9. iDesign Axis Free Standing Toilet Paper Holder

This is an innovative double-post freestanding toilet paper holder with a magazine or newspaper rack. It is beautifully made of rust-resistance steel with a bronze finish.

I love the fact that this toilet paper holder can dispense 2 toilet paper rolls at the same time. Although it racks a roll storage compartment, at least you are sure that the 2 rolls will not be depleted at the same time, and you will therefore replace whichever runs out first.

If you have a smaller bathroom that this holder would not be ideal for, there is a toilet tank-mounted option which you can also use as a reserve rolls storage for the main one. Apart from that, you can also buy a stand-alone roll reserve unit that can easily fit at the side of the toilet.

It holds both regular-sized rolls as well as the big ones. To clean this product, just wipe it with a dump cloth, and that’s it. Its finish is very well done and hence durable.

It is 12 inches wide, 4.75 inches deep, and 23.75 inches high. This is a great product for big and small bathrooms.

Conclusion

Freestanding Toilet paper holders are becoming more popular as they are stylish, portable, and do not need to be mounted. They are also useful in other ways like toilet paper storage as well as mobile, newspaper, and magazine shelves.
