I haven’t seen it on here but probably some folks have already done a project similar to this one. Anyway I thought I would post the cup holder that I installed in the kitchen area. I had to modify it due to the fact the one I ordered was too long for the area I needed to install it. I just trimmed the length with a hack saw. The mounting contains a base plate you install on the wall with command strips. The cup holder has a slotted fitting mounted to it to be able to slide into the base plate. If you mount one similar to the one here be sure you have enough head room to be able to lift the cup holder up for removal and refilling. It works great on both plastic and paper 12 oz cups. The tensioner that hold the cups were a little tight so I slightly bent them so the cups could be removed a little bit easier. This little gadget definitely is better than trying to store the cups in the overhead cabinets.

That's a lot of words

One picture would make it so much easier to follow.

Now we're cooking. Great mod!

I was trying to figure out why you were putting a cup holder in the kitchen. It wasn't until after you posted the picture that I realized it is a cup dispenser not a holder. Now that makes more sense.
