Poor construction quality, wood finish was not smooth, screw hole plugs were not flush, corners peeling and chipped, wood slat glued into top of small knife slots broken and coming loose, etc.
I bought this as a supplement to a wusthoff knife block I already have, to hold a few more knives since it was over capacity. I was hoping to save money and just get a smaller one, this one was a waste of time and money. I'll be returning it and buying a 2nd one of the wusthoff, even if it will take up another drawer and cost twice as much, if it actually works, it's worth it.

One of the knife slots is only partially machined, making it unusable. Very flimsy and completely overpriced for what you get. Amazon is going downhill with the product quality.Read Best Reviews of Lipper International Bamboo Knife Block Here
I picked this knife block up today at Bed Bath & Beyond while looking for a magnetic knife strip. I still want one of those, but they only had 2, one being too short and the other, a Henkel, was made of plastic with magnets, which I was extremely disappointed about because it was one of the ones I was contemplating ordering. Thank god I didn't. I received the Guy Fieri knives as a gift (which I LOVE!) and a magnetic strip, but the strip was damaged so it was returned promptly and so in the meanwhile, I needed something to store my knives in. I actually have it sitting on the counter and really like it thus far as the knives fit well along with the set of 4 Mondial slicing knives I have and a bread knife I love from another set. I had tried a few knife blocks, but the Fieri knives are very thick and did not fit in any of the ones I tried. So far so good. I'll update in a few weeks as I use it more and maybe get it into a drawer once I get another knife strip to try.Really wanted this knife block to work out, but my standard sized "steak" knives that came in my generic knife pack wont fit entirely in the top holes of the block. So we have to lay them down on top of the larger knives otherwise the handles stick up and you can't close the drawer. Lots of great reviews but I don't have 6 tiny pairing knives to fit into the slats so it just doesn't work!
