My sole concern is the shipping!  It was only shipped in the box it was put in after mfg.  The box, I must assure you, came thru fine -- but the box sat in the rain on my door step and literally fell off when I picked it up.  This is the only time I've found fault with Amazon shipping.  Of course, I've seen the concern expressed that the quantity of shipping in cartons is filling up the land fills -- so this may be in response to that.  AnyWay...that being said, the bread box itself is fine.  I didn't expect it would keep bread fresh, and it doesn't - at least the heel of a loaf got very hard.  But I can store a lot in it and it looks much better on my counter than the unsightly pile of wrappers, etc.
