I liked the knife block very much, except for the open holes on the bottom. I know that they all have this which I don't like. Some of my knives are long and the touch my granite counter top which is a no-no. I would like to see them enclosed or a tray that you set the block in. For now, the taped a piece of card board on the bottom and trying to come up with something better to protect my granite. I know you can come up with a solution and when you do, let me know.

It has a solid white opaque finish and as such looks nothing like the photo representation which shows a white washed wood finish. It is fine if you want a solid white block.

Well constructed, nice color.My previous knife holder fell apart after two months of using so I needed to find the right one for my gold knifes.This one is better than the previous one.
