This bread box is a little on the small side, but it does a great job of keeping our fresh-baked French bread from the grocery store from going stale after a day. We've been able to keep our French bread soft for as long as 3-4 days with this bread box, which is the perfect amount of time for us to finish our soup leftovers. It also gives us the ability to buy French bread ahead of time instead of the evening we plan to eat it. That aspect is super convenient! If you're okay with the smaller size, then this is a great buy!
