Nigella Lawson Living Kitchen Bread Bin Beech/Cream (Kitchen & Home)

so so i too bought bread bin from amazon new , but at a reduced price. lid is very wobbly. If i was buying a second it should have been flaggled as such, not sold as perfect goods!. my mugs came marked too! tut tut amazon you've never let me down before! Actually Nigella IS PROBABLY THE ONE WHO HAS LET US ALL DOWN.

Great idea, bad experience. I'd been looking for a bread bin for a while and when I saw this one I was delighted although it is quite expensive. The colour is great, the bread board is great BUT the actual crock is very buckled which means the bread board/lid does not sit on it properly which is quite annoying. At best the item is second quality but sadly by the time our family had bought it over to France it would have been too late to take the matter up with Amazon and frankly life is too short to deal with the hassle. Would I buy it again? No, even though the size is good to keep a home baked loaf and some croissants fresh when we have friends and family to visit. I do however like the fact that the bin is not airtight (and is not sold as such) which means the air can circulate and the bread does not sweat. Great idea, bad experience.

Problems with lid warping Within a week of purchase, the wooden lid of this bread bin began to warp. John Lewis provided a replacement lid which i'm sorry to say has also warped. Whilst i do like the style of this bread bin, the lid is obviously of poor quality and i will therefore be returning the bread bin for a refund.

Another warped lid .......really lovely design BUT the lid has warped again leaving bread to dry out. I agree with all the design comments from other reviews, such a shame the manufacturer has used a cheap supplier of wood for the lid/chopping board. So annoying as its nice to find a bread bin that is actually good looking & practical. What a shame but its not a well reported problem it seems so maybe Ive just been unlucky. I have to give it 2 stars in my case.

Lovely & huge! This is a beautiful, obviously expensive luxury which is truly huge. I am keen on my breadmaker (Panasonic 253, also from Amazon) and needed a bin to take 2 large loaves. This manages with room to spare for rolls. I agree with other reviewers that it is not 100% airtight but that does not bother me as I find bread sweats under such conditions. The lid is much to good to use as the suggested breadboard. I dread chipping the bin and handle it little and with care.
