Bought this stand just before my wedding anniversary to test drive it for future events, and was very pleased with it. Arrived quickly and very well packaged and was very happy with how easy it was to put together, and how sturdy it was. It shows off cupcakes very well, but as I only used the bottom three biggest layers for my cupcakes I placed a two tiered cake on top and it had no trouble with the weight, which would have been quite substantial. Can highly recommend this stand to anyone interested in making such a purchase, and looking forward to bringing it out again at a friends wedding in a few weeks.
