Large but flawed bread box
This bread box is okay. It's very large, with plenty of room for a few loaves of bread or other baked goods.Assembly wasn't super easy, I found the screws quite difficult to tighten. I was worried about the bamboo cracking under the force required, but it held up. That said, the instructions were clear and (almost) all of the pieces were labelled. You can figure it out without the labels anyway, the pieces are distinct enough that it shouldn't be a problem.The biggest issue is the sliding cover. It does not slide easily, which means pulling it up or down takes two hands, one to slide the door, the other to keep the whole box from moving. Additionally, even with just a loaf of bread in the bottom, the door does catch on the bag in the back. I can see this being a real problem if you had it fully loaded up with bread.I added some stick on rubber pads to the bottom and the back of the box to keep it from moving as much when I slide the door. They seem to work pretty well, but it's still very stiff. I believe the door catching at the back could be solved by adding a panel between the base/shelf and the back door groove, but this would take some work. Maybe something the manufacturer could fix in the future.Appearance-wise, it looks nice from a distance, but the wood on the inside was discolored or stained in places. And the bottom piece had a dent right in the middle inside of the box that was also inky black. It looked like a squashed bug, so I tried to clean it and realised it was wood but discolored and deformed. Probably a manufacturing issue.

A new smart look on my counter
This item came well packed with all pieces required to put it together. I found the assembly instructions very simple and clear and in jig time I had it all together. It looks very nice on my counter and the roll door seems to work well. It jammed this morning but it turned out to be a pill bottle on the top shelf had gone back too far so got in the way of the door moving. Had to tilt it forward to move the bottle and all was good again. I really am pleased with this purchase!UPDATE: I was having trouble with the sliding door that I thought a little wear would fix but it was getting to be tougher to open and close. My hubby suggested using a Q-tip and rubbing vegetable oil lightly in the grove so I took the box apart and did as he said, put it back together and am so happy with it now. In fact, I have to hold it now when closing it so it doesn't slam.....perfect outcome!

All in all it was a good buy
Love having a bread box and love that this one is a double decker. We have very limited counter space in our kitchen so this being a 2 shelf unit and that the door slid up vs having a hing door was the selling factor for us. Its a good sturdy peice and holds quite a bit. The cons eith this was it arrived disassembled and wasn't the easiest thing to pit together it was a tad frustrating at points but we managed to get it built, they only thing I'm disappointed in right now is that the handle on the door popped off, for the money spent I was hoping it would have been slightly better quality where it would have stayed together longer than a week. But all in all it was a good buy.
