Modern Bread Box for Kitchen Counter Top with 2 Bread Bags (Black) – Sturdy Modern Construction, Ribbed Design Keeps Bread Fresh Longer – Large Sourdough Bread Box with Cutting Board Lid

High quality, great customer service
I hesitated on buying this bread box bc I was concerned the bamboo box would look cheap and plasticy. I generally prefer ceramic and there is a similar more expensive one, but the weight of that one seemed like it’d be a problem.So I took a chance and this box is exactly what I’d hoped. It’s heavy duty, but not too heavy. The matte finish is nice and doesn’t feel like cheap plastic. The lid/cutting board has a tight fit to keep bread fresh.My initial order came damaged and this company immediately sent a replacement, which I got quickly.I could not be happier and glad I chose this over the more expensive ceramic option.

Great size for two loafs of bread, rolls and bread or?
I’ve been meaning to go searching for a bread box since my husband and I like to make rustic bread together and, it usually goes stale before we finish it since we are only using whole grain, organic recipes and nothing with food preservatives.As soon as I saw this bread box from Abioto, I knew my search was over since it is made out of a grass plastic with a bamboo lid. It matches our Japandi interior of our home and, it is modern looking and not one of those bulky wooden ones. We also like to look for products that will last since we don’t like to add to the landfills. This does hit every check mark with us and, although a large size box, the dimensions are such it fits in one of our smallest cupboards. I also appreciate it comes with two cotton bags to put our bread in to keep the crusts crunchy and the interior soft.The reason i marked down a star was because the bags came smelling of chemicals. The bags were inside the bread box when I opened the package and it smelled pretty strong when I opened the lid for the first time. Once I washed everything, the smell went away but it does make me wonder what that smell was.The other reason is I think they could have done a slightly better job of matching the gap of the lid all the way around. You don’t really notice much but since I have had a career in design, I notice things like that. Lastly, as you will see on the third picture, the bread box has a black mark which is part of the box so I can’t remove it. It was also a bit scratched when it arrived.I could have marked it down two stars for all of that but, if the box didn’t have those issues, I likely would have given it an extra star since it’s one of the nicest bread boxes I’ve seen on the market as far as esthetics, size and what you get for the money. It feels solid and although the description said you can use the lid as a cutting board if you turn it over, I think the lid is too nice for that.

Need muscles
This thing is well made. It is huge!My biggest problem is it is difficult to open. Sometimes the lid comes right off but most of the time I have to ask my husband to open it for me. Not convenient if he isn’t home. May be returning.
