Brabantia163463 Fall Front Bread Bin, Brilliant Steel, L

After years of throwing bread in the bin after being left out, I wanted an actual bread bin to keep our counter tidy. This fitted right in to our kitchen design.The only way I can think of making this better would be:A small spacer to fix to the back, to bridge it to the wall when there is an upstand behind (I modelled and printed my own.)A removable crumb tray.Neither of these things detract from the fact this is a quality item and are only my own personal desires.

Loved this product but had to return as I ordered wrong colour! Have reordered in correct colour.

Nice looking and easy to clean but I think a bit expensive for a bread bin

The finsh is good. The size is enough to get 2 loaves inside. When the door is shut it makes everything tidy. Being rectangular in shape let's me store my boxed cakes on top.

Really like this breadbin holds a large loaf plus pack of 6 rolls and even a small sliced loaf. Has air holes in the rear and seems to keep everything fresh, had nothing go mouldy yet even in all the recent hot weather. Arrived really well packaged and promptly, no complaints.

Well made and not a dent in sight. Easy to use and looks expensive. I got the green.

I needed a new one as the other was looking a little tired after a long time. Went for the Matt one this time, very happy and it is a little pricey but if it lasts as long as the last one, l will be happy.

I was debating whether to buy this or go for the no-name similar one at £12, and i thought since this was going to be a gift, I'd just buy this one and HOPE it was actually made better/more sturdy than the one at £12, and sadly it isn't.Ok, so you do get a "10yr warranty" with this, but seriously, who is actually going to claim on that for a breadbin?It's nice to have it, and it's a good sign that a company puts such faith in their product so i'm not complaining about that. It's just not a solid built product. It really is flimsy metal that is easily dented. That's what I'm getting at with this.Now sure, if you dent it, since it's so thin you can easily pop the dent back out, but it shouldn't be so easily dented to begin with at this price.Seeing how flimsy the metal on this is, it leaves me wondering about the sturdyness of the metal on their large kitchen bins, which i was going to splash out on for a gift for the same person i bought this breadbin for. I'm thinking twice about that now.So in reality, what you are really paying for here, at least when it comes to this bread bin, is the brand name, with a little peace of mind if the bread bin fails to operate as intended.For me, this product is a bit of a 'meh'.Also it isn't as big as some others here said. Sure you can get in those mass produced 'thick' 'toastie' loaves, and squeeze in some tattie scones and maybe a couple of rolls from the bakers, you know the type i mean, the ones you put your square sausage and fried egg in, not these fairy, soft rolls the trendies eat thinking it'd save their teeth from wearing down or something. The way some were saying, you could put your farmhouse loaves in there with a 6 pack of rolls and a couple of packs of tattie scones. Not so.I'm not knocking down a star for the price of it, i knew how much it was before i hit the buy button.I'm knocking down two stars simply for how flimsy it is, making it on par with the £12 version that is available here on amazon. I'm just annoyed at the price mark up for brand name on such a flimsy cheapo build quality product. I'm sick of that practice. Add 2mm in thickness of steel, and I'd be singing its praises because at least it would be SOLID, and i wouldn't have to worry about it being easily dented.In our grandparents day, brand name meant everything to the company, and to the workers, and of course in turn to the buyers who grew to trust the name on the label, and when the company and the workers cared about what they were making, the buyers really did benefit.Today, you get the minimum of build quality at maximum prices companies think they can get away with before too many folks complain and lower the influence of their brand in the minds of others, and companies are still scared of word of mouth advertising, and rightly so, because a customer left with a bitter taste is bad advertising for them that spreads quicker than melted butter.Presentation is still No.1 in the eyes of the customer of course, but with online shopping we lose what is the most important No.2 - the FEEL of the build quality.Filter those negative reviews and read them first, and you'll begin to see bad quality in many of the major brands that command high prices simply from customer perception alone.Anyway, enough of my ramblings that aren't fit for the current year with the TL;DR generation who get to the end of one sentence and tune out because there's no techno or rap music and flashing images to keep them hooked -- if all you want in your kitchen is 'brand name' items, here you go, buy this and 'feel' better about your kitchen.I on the other hand am looking for build quality and longevity. I don't care about what others think about my lack of brand named items in my home, but what i do think, is there are plenty of others out there on the same boat as me, we want build quality and longevity in our products instead of brand name hype and keeping up with appearances so visitors to our homes think we're 'trendy' or some nonsense. I don't care about that mindlessness.Bah, I'm gonna build my own from some nice old fashioned wood.
