Perfect Size
I have a small galley kitchen and didn't think I had enough room for a bread box. But the Brabantia Compact Bread Box came in a great small size that allows for two loaves of bread or several rolls, muffins, wraps, etc. You can also put some items on top. I am very happy with its size, functionality and looks. It's pricey but there's no other one available in a petite size. Believe me. I have checked!
Chinese made, poor quality steel.

Admittedly, I do need to place one of the loaves on its side to fit both. However, it is worth including that the loaf I place on its side is from the local bakery, and quite wide. I imagine that two commercially prepared loaves would fit in the box with ample room (considering I'm storing one of these along with the aforementioned wide bakery loaf and experience no trouble closing the box.) It is a beautiful bread box that provided an instant upgrade to the look of our counter. I am now able to place my Mac Book on top of the box while cooking (so that I may glance at a recipe online. Prior, I was placing it somewhere on the counter where it took up additional space.) Of...
