My wife wanted this item to cut our home made bread on. Assembly is easy but it has too many plastic pieces that move about causing the back to fall off. I tried taping the three plastic pieces together but when cutting the bread the pointed end of the knife often struck the opposite plastic upright. Conclusion; OK if you have a long bladed cutting knife that stays within the cutting guides. I removed the flimsy plastic guides and my wife uses the base to cut our bread on, at least it collects a lot of the crumbs.

Nicely made piece of equipment but suffers from a big design flaw, namely the distance between the cutting guides on each side. A standard bread knife blade is 20cm long, the distance between the cutting guides is about 18cm leaving about 2cm of cutting length available to slice the bread before the knife comes out of the guide. This happens routinely and this morning after two weeks of ownership the knife caught on the solid piece of guide and the guide tine snapped off at the base. This was the tine which also holds the end plate in place so now the whole thing is pretty much useless. If you buy this, make sure to buy a long bladed bread knife which was my plan but didn't manage to get one in time.

I thought this would be useful as I have trouble cutting unsliced loaves. However, the plastic uprights are not very rigid and I don't find it easy to use so don't bother with it any more. However, the bread board part of it has a crumb tray, which is handy.

Quite good, wood construction is OK but acrylic sides are a bit flimsy, wonder how long they'll last. Problem is the width - it's way too wide! Bread knife is only a couple of cm longer which makes it more difficult to cut loaf.
