The special plateau is held by a bracket so that towels or other similar articles placed thereon are secured thereto substantially completely by frictional engagement. The frictional surface is omni directional and towels can be removed by pulling in any direction. The plateau may be planar in configuration or it may be a horizontally disposed ring held in spacial relation by the bracket. Also the plateau may be removably secured to the bracket so that plateaus of different configurations can be interchanged with brackets of the same or different design.
