During the pandemic we have been making lots of bagels and bread with nowhere to store them- so we bought this bread box. Like other reviewers I was surprised how large it is and happy it can hold all of our glutenous items. I have not had any issues with the back like others and find it overall sturdy and well made- it is strong enough to support other items including a fruit bowl on top. The closure is magnetic, which is nice and secure, and I like that it is mostly made of sustainable bamboo.
