    Going to watch your thread too mig because I am after one as well.

    Probably not metal as you have to constantly attend to it and it can rust......

    I like the wooden ones with the lid - ours is pine.

    We have the pine one, but I have found the bread goes mouldy in this weather so have been leaving the lid off..last a bit longer...

    We have a great big tin one but we hardly ever use it because nobody remembers to check what goodies are inside (its not just for bread but croissants, crumpets and rolls). I originally bought it to tidy up the worktop but now I have a big empty tin as well as lots of bready products.

    I wish we had one but there is not enough worktop space available thanks to his coffee machine, the kettle and food processor. I would opt for ceramic over plastic over wood but not metal. I keep our bread in a specially designed bag from a kitchen shop but, in the very hot weather, the bread clutters the fridge. DD

    I have a rusty metal one :lol: so am reading with interest. I can't do big wooden ones. My son has one and it's all I can do to get the top off. I keep the bread in the fridge in summer.

    My parents have a ceramic one, which they have had for atleast 10 years now. Keeps bread nice and fresh, but the lid has a rather large hairline crack, and one good drop and it will break.
