C'mon, people, this is a simple breadbox with a top, bottom, two side pieces, and a sliding door that fits into grooves on the sides. Eight screws, four on each side. There is a labelled picture of each part and picture assembly instructions. My seven-year-old grandson puts together LEGO gadgets much more complicated than this. Check out the parts before you start. If something is broken, you probably need to return it and get a replacement unless a little glue will put it right. UPS folks are stretched pretty thin nowadays and stuff does get broken in shipping in the best of times. I don't think that's worth a meltdown and a scathing review. If you find yourself heading in that direction, maybe try breathing into a bag. Or maybe offer your UPS delivery person a tip once in a while.In the interest of fewer bad reviews, I will try to give some tips on how you can avoid common problems in this and, perhaps, future assemblies. First off, there is a mistake in the drawing for step 2: part B shouldn't be as shown and the slots won't line up for the bottom piece if you put it in that way. Take it out, turn it around, and all will be well. Takes about 10 minutes to put it together after you have found your philips screwdriver, maybe less if you don't have arthritic fingers.Remember to stick each screw most of the way through the predrilled hole in each side so you can see to get the screw started straight into the predrilled hole in the top and the two bottom rails. then line up the pieces correctly (top might need a little adjusting to fit it up - LOOK at alignment before tightening the screws! Remember that bamboo is a fairly hard wood that doesn't take well to bending or forcing. If the screw doesn't turn with moderate force, look to see if it's crooked in the hole, back it out and get it in straight. Then don't tighten the screws all the way until all eight are semi-tight and you have checked alignment of parts. The bottom and back are thin pieces that may be warped, not unusual in my experience. In my case, the bottom was slightly warped. I put it in with the crown facing up and the edges firmly in the slots, and it fit fine when I tightened all the screws.Once together, it felt solid and the sliding door slid just fine. I thought the door might give some trouble, so I checked its motion at each step after putting in, which turned out not to be necessary. The breadbox looks good and it holds a round boule out of my oven, about 9" in diameter, plus something as big as a loaf of store bread. (You can imagine bagels and crackers if you find store bread offensive.) I don't think you could get two 9" boules in at the same time, but I haven't tried that. All in all, it does what a breadbox is supposed to do: keeps the bread relatively moist (might need a bag on it after a couple of days) and you can put things like your breadboard and knife on the top. And it looks good, especially for a breadbox that's half to two thirds the cost of preassembled bamboo breadboxes.So don't be put off by the negative reviews unless you're one of those people whose home toolkit consists of a broken jack knife and a bent fork you found on the street. Even if you're in that category, go out and buy a medium size philips screwdriver and a flat blade one as well. You're gonna need those sooner or later in life anyhow.

Fits a loaf of bread and 2 pkgs of English muffins. Fits 2 loaves of bread. Fits a loaf of bread and single pastry's not in a pkg. It is not an eyesore, it compliments your counter top. The roll top it has works good for me. It was already assembled. Don't expect to forcefully open the rolltop, go slow and no issues. If you are too fast it might catch and not open. It is so easy to use you won't want to open it forcefully or a fast speed. I have a spouse who feels he has to do almost anything in life at a fast speed. He's learned it works great when you move at a normal speed, slower than he moves in life. You won't be disappointed. The measurements are accurate so measure your space and see if it will fit for you. It is perfect for me. I don't like bread in cabinets or pantry's. I don't like the smell of bread emitting from the plastic. I have a highly sensitivity to smells and I had to find a way this would not be bad for me and this breadbox fixed the problem for me. Now my pantry and cabinets don't assail my nose when I open their doors. The bread box doesn't smell either because it isn't a sealed unit. I recommend this for the items it can handle. Less pkging, more product it will hold. If you bake bread, yumm, you will love it.

This was easy for me to put together. I think it maybe took me about 10 minutes. It looks great, functions nicely, easily holds 2-3 loafs of bread, freed up some much needed counter space, and the price can't be beat. Overall, I'm very pleased with this product.HOWEVER, I don't usually have difficulty assembling things with or without instructions and I don't mind taking my time to look things over before hand and figure out where things go. The instructions are bad and have the potential to make things more confusing as they don't show proper positioning of the support pieces. If you like puzzles and problem solving, then you might enjoy putting this product together.If you are somebody that struggles with troubleshooting or lack the time/patience to take time to figure out how things should go together, I strongly recommend spending the extra money to get a different product. It's not a failure on your part - this thing truly comes with bad and even misleading instructions. Looking at the pictures in some other reviews, I can see exactly how and why the assembly went wrong and it is really easy to get a piece turned in the wrong direction and mess up the whole alignment.

I love this breadbox! I actually bought it to use on my nightstand so I can put a lamp on it and still have room for other things. It's really pretty and sturdy. Easy to put together too. And great price!

Great product, looks good on my counter and my fresh breads love it. Putting it together was somewhat of a challenge, I just couldn't see the directions well as the print is very small (ok, I am 73). But just looked at the pictures, dry fit it together then finished the assembly easily. Well worth the money and not so costly. Thank you JNJ Brands for your quality product and service.

Didn't hold up the way I expected, but it was cute.

Perfect size! Most bread boxes I browsed didn’t even look big enough to hold a whole loaf of sandwich bread, but this holds that and then some. I do wish there were darker color options, but I guess I could always stain it to match.

You have to put it together properly and then it’s quite sturdy.

product looked decent, but it arrived damaged. too bad we didn't get to use it.

لا انصح بشراءه ابداً وصلني وقد كان مثبت سابقاً وتم تفكيكه، وكانت طريقة تثبيته بدبابيس وليس بمسامير.وقمت بإرجاعه.

Arrived in just a few days after ordering.Good quality pieces, nothing was damaged or broken.Instructions and all screws were in the box. Instructions were illustrated in very basic steps but it’s only a few pieces to screw together so wasn’t difficult at all.Nice and spacious for a good size loaf and a few pastries.

We have it tucked in the corner of our counter to keep our bread and buns etc in. It is lovely :)
