Size: 29 x 43 x 11 cm 3-compartment type The wider middle section is fully open - see photo. No shape distortion, and the inside is also clean. It's a beautiful item with little use. (*^_^*) The outside is also almost as good as new, but there is some scuffing and peeling on the overlapping part of the handle, so I'm offering it at a lower price! It's only noticeable if you look up from below.
