Using this cake stand is a breeze. First, take out the base and the top from the package. Since the parts are unattached to avoid damage in transit, you'll need to assemble them. Simply attach the base to the top and twist until they are tightly connected. Once assembled, you can place your delicious cupcakes or desserts on it. This cake stand is great for birthdays, weddings, or any event as a table decoration or centerpiece. When it comes to maintenance, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe it clean. Avoid using abrasive cleaners that could scratch the metal or damage the acrylic crystals. Keep it in a dry place when not in use to prevent rusting or damage to the chains.
