I bought the kettle first and was so thrilled, I couldn't resist and purchased the toaster the following month. A little larger than I expected but still not too big to sit comfortably on almost all kitchen worktops. I got the '4 in a row' toaster and there's plenty of room, in all 4 slots for the thickest slice's of bread and bagels etc. It has a very expensive and distinctive look about it. I got the White (an kettle to match,) and couldn't be happier. The set have totally given my kitchen a lift. They ooze quality and look an feel like they'll last for years n years. I would highly recommend to anyone who's thinking of buying one, whatever style of kitchen you have, as they would be easily adaptable to many different styles and not just the obvious 'retro' style. My kitchen style is new and old combined.
