Marble Banana Holder — Handmade Stone Base Banana Hook Stand for Countertop
Bananas left flat on the counter bruise where they touch the surface and ripen unevenly. This marble banana holder hangs the whole bunch off the counter so air reaches every side — they brown slower, ripen evenly, and stop turning to mush on the bottom. The weighted stone base does the part cheap banana hangers get wrong: it stays put instead of tipping over when a heavy bunch pulls to one side. 12.5" tall · 6.5" marble base · 3.2 lb weighted base · steel hooks · holds a full bunch + grapes · 8 colors · free US shipping · 30-day returns What makes this banana holder different A weighted marble base that won't tip The base is solid natural stone, 6.5 inches across and part of the stand's 3.2 lb weight. A full bunch of bananas hangs off one side, and lightweight metal or plastic hangers tip under that load. This one stays planted — the single most common banana-hanger complaint, solved by mass. Hanging keeps bananas fresher Bananas bruise where they rest against a hard surface, and the trapped side ripens faster than the rest. Hanging the bunch lets air circulate all the way around, so they brown more slowly and ripen evenly. No more flat, mushy underside. Not just bananas The hooks hold more than one bunch. Hang grapes, a second bunch, or a mug — the photo shows bananas and grapes sharing the stand. It works as a small countertop fruit hanger, not a single-purpose gadget. Marble base, steel stand The upright post and hooks are steel for strength; the base is hand-carved natural stone for weight and looks. It's a two-material build — the stone does the stabilizing, the steel does the hanging. Why a weighted stone base beats the alternatives Marble-base stand (this) Lightweight metal hanger Under-cabinet hook Fruit bowl Stays upright with a full bunch Yes — 3.2 lb base Often tips Yes — but fixed in place N/A — fruit lies flat Bananas ripen evenly Yes — hangs free Yes Yes No — bruises on the bottom Installation None — set it down None Drilling / mounting None Moves anywhere Yes Yes No — fixed Yes Also holds grapes / other fruit Yes — spare hooks Sometimes Sometimes Yes Each piece unique Yes — natural stone No No Varies The honest trade-off: a wall or under-cabinet hook takes up zero counter space, but it needs mounting, drilling, and a spot under a cabinet. A freestanding marble stand needs a bit of counter real estate — in exchange it needs no installation, moves anywhere, and won't tip. If you want no counter footprint, mount a hook; if you want a stand you can set down and use immediately, this is it.

The weighted base does the rest. Hang the bunch by the stem from a hook. The bananas should swing free without touching the base or counter. Use the spare hooks for grapes, a second bunch, or a mug. Buy bananas slightly green — hanging slows ripening, so they'll last longer than they would in a bowl. Also holds: grapes, small fruit bunches, tomatoes on the vine, or a couple of mugs. Materials and craftsmanship The base is hand-carved and hand-polished from a single piece of natural stone, then paired with a steel upright and hooks. Because the base is real stone, the veining and tone vary from piece to piece — the travertine and onyx variants in particular carry distinctive warm banding. A note on natural stone: no two bases match, and yours won't be a pixel-perfect copy of the photo. That variation is the stone, not a flaw. Marble is porous by nature, so wipe spills promptly and keep the base dry. Care instructions Wipe the marble base with a damp cloth and dry it. Don't soak it. Dry the steel after any contact with water to prevent spotting. Skip the dishwasher — neither the stone nor the assembled stand belongs in it. Don't let acids sit on the marble; lemon and vinegar can etch stone. Avoid abrasive pads, which scratch the polished base. Lift, don't drag, the base across counters so it doesn't scratch the surface or itself. Who this is for Anyone whose bananas bruise and over-ripen in a fruit bowl.
