Bread box is not for a busy kitchen with kids...
I had high hopes for the bread box but was very disappointed when It arrived. The reason, there is no stopping mechanism to keep the two pieces from pulling apart. If you are single or a couple and know you can carefully expand or open the box then maybe it would be ok. I’m a Mom with children spanning 16 years and those children have friends in our house that also call me Mom. I can already see this box being pulled apart the first time a rushing child tries to open the box and then my dogs join the party to help them clean up.... these are what you call the prophetic visions of a mother. To make matters worse, this box fully expanded to the point of being apart won’t fit a store bought loaf of bread. I’m also guessing that given it’s design precut bread won’t stay fresh long since there is no seal at any point around the expanding section of the box. I’m not going to waste a loaf of bread finding out if I’m right, my dogs don’t need the carbs. After being a Mom for a while you kinda know what’ll become a mess on the floor. The only good things I can say are it’s pretty and looks like it would hold any size loaf of home made bread. Finally, I wish the reviews on an item were for that item. The majority of the reviews are for other food storage items that might be great. However, grouping all of the reviews together is misleading when I’m busy and quickly scanning them for a highly rated item. Amazon, your “choice” was disappointing. Returning and hoping the review system is changed.
