I love this!  I had bought a glass stand from Pier1 which is beautiful and was spendy but it isn't tall enough for even a basic 2 layer cake and it's VERY heavy, especially with a cake on it.  I wish I had saved the $70 I spent on that one and just gotten this one!  This one has more than enough height to accommodate even a 3 layer cake and since it is plastic, it's far lighter and easier to carry!  It's plastic but really does look more expensive than it was and is a breeze to clean!  Love it!
