I bought this bread box for my sons wedding, I looked for something different. And after and whole lot of research and reading more reviews about bread boxes then I have ever wanted to I found Wesco. Its not only a great bread box but a very reputible company that makes more then just bread boxes. Its sturdy and solid and Made very very well. My Son and his wife loved it. The only thing that I took 1 star off for Is it, Im not sure why but it seems very lose when put together it comes apart every time I lifted it. But once it is placed on the counter it didnt seem to come lose.I would suggest putting it together on the counter and not on the floor.The lid on this doesn't flip back 180 degrees, or even 90, merely about 60, meaning that yes, you can insert an 800g British loaf, but you have to put it in sideways and then place it upright, which is a PITA. And, the feet slide so each time you open or shut this, the bread bin moves. Buying 'feet' or rubber pads shouldn't be necessary for an item of this price.On the plus side, the fire-engine red is lovely and it is a quality item, just not quite as it should be in terms of ease of use.This is a lovely breadbin, a very nice shade of red standing slightly proud of the worktop on chrome legs. It is shaped like a pill and has a nice, smooth opening, the top sliding back over the base section. I find it's quite roomy but I note the complaint in the other review: if you regularly buy those high square/rectangular sliced loaves this is probably not the right type of bin for you, but if you buy the sort of loaves or buns not baked in a square tin (which I do) this is fine.Great addition to our new kitchen - makes my humble loaf look tip top. Seems well made and solid, and swings open nicely. I've dropped a single star because it is smaller than I'd hoped for. In reality, it'll hold a Single full size loaf and not much else - maybe a pack of wraps .... still, I'm very pleased with it.Does what you'd expect, brightens up our kitchen.Snug fit for a typical UK sliced loaf with a bit of space at the end for some bagels.Dropped a star purely as it slides around on the worktop a bit, I'll be adding some stick-on rubber feet at some point.As always from Wesco, very good quality and a rather groovy addition to my kitchen, without being too showy!! Only slight issue, I would have liked it to be a bit bigger bearing in mind we are a family of 4. A bit of a squash if you have a loaf , to get anything else in ........crumpets, pain au chocolat etc. But love it anyway and couldn't find anything else that loooked as good quality after quite a search!!
