Highly recommend purchasing a drop front bread bin. Easily holds two large loaves with room to spare. Easy close function. Flat top for storage. However I purchased the matt steel fingerprint proof one, the colour is a lot darker than in illustration. Very smart for those who like a darker colour. I had a colour called mellow yellow previously which suited our small kitchen better being lighter and brighter. Hoping that Brabantia will bring out a similar sunny colour again sometime!
