Great-looking and useful breadbox. It has a flat top for extra storage, so even though it's pretty big, it works well in a small space. It has a secure magnetic closure. I bought it because my building occasionally gets mice and I wanted to make sure they couldn't reach any bread or snacks on my counter. I haven't left bread in here long enough to see if it really keeps it fresher, but I'm optimistic about that. The one thing is, it did arrive with the handle slightly bent and the paint had a small crack at the bend, but nothing serious enough to go though the return process for.
