Item arrived not as pictured or described, and there was nothing that we could do about it
Our cake stand arrived, and it is clearly silver (see pictures).  The picture on the product listing page is black, and it is described as “BLACK” in the item description and title.  Regardless, the seller insisted that this specified color was only a “tag,” whatever that means.  Further, he said that I should have written him in advance to specify that I wanted it in black.  Huh?  Anyway, black is in our wedding's color palette; silver is not.  This will not work.  We will have to scramble for another option, which is the last thing we need to worry about at this admittedly stressful time.<br /><br />Also, the stand is 6.2 inches tall (see picture), not 8.2 inches, as stated in the listing.  A two-inch difference is not insignificant.  Seller stated that he thought that it was better proportioned that way, which is fine, I suppose, but he needs to change that in his listing!  Because, even if it were the correct color, it would not clear the table centerpiece.  Color and size are important details.  And should be more than a crap shoot.  Especially for event planning, which I’m sure that many of you out there can understand.<br /><br />The seller is international and didn’t agree to Amazon’s buyer protection policy, so if he screws up your order like he did ours, you will have absolutely no recourse.  You might as well throw away your money.  Speaking of international, the seller is based in Eastern Europe, so I don’t even know if the correctly colored paint would have been food safe or even legal in California.  Important to know for the little ones.<br /><br />Finally, the seller was rude and unaccommodating, wholly unsympathetic, to our complaints.  All I have to say here is, buyer beware.
