I received this a while ago and have used it several times. I liked it, but I was afraid of breaking it, so I kept it stored in the cupboard at home. In preparation for listing it, I washed it again and wiped it with a cloth. However, as you can see in photos 7 and 8, there are water drying marks. The sound is pleasant when toasting. It's clean enough to use at home and I think it's still usable. Approximately 15.5 cm tall. Please understand that this has been stored for a long time before purchasing.
