I wanted a nice breadbox that would fit below my under-the-counter toaster to hide all the various bags of bread littering my counter. This does the job neatly and matched my white cabinets and appliances. It can hold up to 3 Pepperidge Farm loaves of bread (which are short), but could probably fit 2 longer loaves of white bread, if that is what you buy. The only con is that the hinges are somewhat flimsy, but they haven't fallen apart so far.
