The block is a little small and a little short, do not plan to store it too big / long knives. By cons it is beautifully finished, and still allows them to include 5-6 knives, for the little that serves a tad. On delivery was missing a shoe under the block ... not frankly want to return the product because of a missing shoe and wait for the redelivery of a new, I decided to remove the others, the unless it is no longer wobbly. Product that does the job without shine in other words.
