Using this cake stand is super easy. Just place it on a flat surface, and then you can put your cakes, cupcakes, or other desserts on it. It's perfect for birthdays, weddings, or any special event. When it comes to cleaning, use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe the stand and the crystals. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the rose - gold finish and the acrylic crystals. Also, make sure not to overload the stand. Its maximum weight capacity is 110 lbs, so don't put overly heavy items on it. Store it in a dry place to prevent rusting of the metal parts.
