Winco Stainless Steel Round Cake Stand, 13-Inch

The order was processed and shipped quickly. It's just for the stand, which was made in India. I am very pleased with the design and ease of assembling this cake stand. It has a very nicely polished finish. The design is reminiscent of a 'deco' diner type stand. The 2 metal cones meet at their narrow ends, the bolt enters the topside of the stand plate and snugs its squared head into the hole, and goes down into the first cone that fits flush underneath the plate and then into the base cone (so pointy ends meeting), where a wing nut threads on inside that base and is tightened to just snug, not too tight. The base cone is the one with the rolled rim, the top cone is the one with the thin rim. Took less than a minute to assemble. There were 3 stickers on the plate upper surface, 1 left residue which "goo gone" removed after a minute or 2 soak and a gentle rub with a folded paper towel --with the grain of the steel, not across it. A quick hand wash with some dish detergent, dried with paper towels, with a little buffing, looks just great.I don't know what the weight capacity of this is, but in diners, I've only seen doughnuts or danishes, or muffins on such a stand. So my guess is it will comfortably hold about 2 dozen 2 ounce muffins or about 3 pounds. Remember, it's bolted not welded together It might hold more, but I'm not planning on having that much temptation around. Easy to clean, won't chip or shatter. And just looks so inviting with a white paper doily on it. I'm getting the plastic cover, too but that's a separate delivery. There is a low rim on the plate, which I wanted and a channel that runs next to it, which looks like where the cover seats. So that should keep the goodies on the plate, collect crumbs, keep the dust off etc. I like the stainless steel for a sanitary surface. The ceramic and glass have that too, but I needed something chip/crack/shatter resistant so my hubby would feel more comfortable grabbing a pastry for breakfast.The diner look can be upscaled. It can be decorated with flowers around the base, or a sparkly scarf draped over first, and then the goodies arranged on top, to change the look. Could put little ornament hooks from the channel with dangling crystals hung around like some of the 'bridal' cake stands. I'm going to have fun with this Wimco stainless steel 13 inch cake display stand!

I BOUGHT TWO OF THESE ACTUALLY. ONE FOR MYSELF AND ANOTHER FOR A FRIEND, BEWARE GUYS, THIS DOESN'T COME WITH THE LID. I HAVE SEEN THIS PRODUCT WITH THE LID IN A MOVIE AND HAD TO HAVE IT! THERE'S A MOVIE CALLED WHAT'S YOUR NUMBER. I KNOW, SOUNDS LAME BUT THERE IS A SCENE IN THE MOVIE WHERE THE MAIN CHARACTER SEES ONE OF HER EXES IN A BAKERY AND THE EX IS GETTING MARRIED AND TASTING CAKE WITH HIS FIANCE. YOU CAN SEE THEY ACTUALLY HAVE LIKE THREE IN THAT PART OR MAYBE MORE. ANYWAYS, I LOOKED HIGH AND LOW FOR SOMETHING LIKE THAT AND FINALLY FOUND IT HERE ON AMAZON! THE PRICE WAS GREAT FOR BOTH ITEMS AND SHIPPING WAS REALLY QUICK. I USE MINE ON AND OFF. SOMETIMES FOR STORE-BOUGHT SWEET BREAD OTHER TIMES I MAKE BROWNIES AND PUT THEM IN THERE. THE STAND AND LID LOOK BEAUTIFUL AND I WOULD RECOMMEND THEM TO ANYONE LOOKING FOR A FANCY LOOKING CAKE STAND AND LID WITHOUT PAYING WAY TOO MUCH. THE LID IS MADE OF PLASTIC BUT STILL LOOKS AMAZING! I DID HAVE A LITTL BITOF TROUBLE PUTTING THE STAND TOGETHER BUT THEN LOOKED AT THE PICTURE ND REALIZED THAT THE CONE SHAPES GO FACING EACHOTHER NOT PILED ONE ON TOP OF THE OTHER IN THE SAME POSITION. THE STAND IS ALSO A DURABLE STAINLESS STEEL AND IS WASHABLE. JUST DRY IT AS SOON AS YOU WASH IT SO THAT IT DOESN'T DRY WITH THE WATER STAINS ON IT. THE LID TOO

This is a great cake stand. I bought it and the matching cover (as others have noted, the cover isn't included here). It consists of the plate and two identical metal cone-shaped things that, when you screw them to the plate nose-to-nose (using a convenient wing nut, no tools required or anything), turn into the stand part. I was a little surprised when I assembled mine and realized that the top part of the stand, the first cone-thing, was the same size at the bottom one, as it looks smaller to my eye in the photo. But once everything was assembled and holding a cake, it looks perfect.(And then, the next day, I was watching an old episode of The Sopranos, and there it was -- the exact same cake stand and cover!)It's dishwasher safe, too, which is a blessing. When it's not holding a cake, it lives in the entryway as a place to put keys, mail to remember, and whatever else. A little strange, sure, but it's very functional and a way to justify buying something I've always wanted but not needed!

This cake stand was just ok. I really wanted a silver cake stand to match the theme of the party. It did the job, but was a little crooked once the cake was on it. It's just held up with a long screw through 2 silver bowls basically. It was $16 so I can't complain too much, but I wouldn't put a wedding cake on it for sure. I used it for a personal party but I would not trust a client's cake on it at all. I did like that the 12" cake board fit on it nicely. That made it easy to set the 10" cake on it.

I bought this stainless steel cake stand and the plastic cover to replace my glass cake stand. While washing the cover of the glass cake stand, I cracked it. This one is attractive and with the acrylic/plastic cover, I won’t break it while washing it. I think it looks nicer than the all plastic cake stands. It’s attractive, pretty durable, and easy to assemble. The price was fair. $32 for both. The top is by the same company and has a stainless steel handles to match the cake stand. I’m very happy with my purchase and I highly recommend it.

How do I put it together....came in pieces and nothing to hold it together

At first, I didn’t like it. It said it was two pieces. It’s actually three pieces and I figured out how to put it together. A little confusing.The box look like it had been thrown a war zone

It is for my upscale upcoming wedding. Very attractive!! Expensive looking!
