This Hanobe wood riser is absolutely beautiful - that rustic, natural wood look is perfect for so many different occasions! It's made from paulownia wood which is seriously lightweight (about 40% lighter than regular wood) but still super sturdy and durable. The assembly is a breeze - just three simple pieces with pre-drilled holes, you screw the pedestal base to the pillar, then attach both to the tray top. Takes like two minutes tops. It stands about 5.7 inches high with an 11-inch diameter tray, which is the perfect size for displaying cakes, cupcakes, desserts, candles, or even using as a vanity riser for your perfume bottles and skincare products. Important note though - it's not food safe, so you'll want to use a cake board or tin foil if you're putting food directly on it. Cleanup is easy too - just wipe with a damp cloth (never submerge in water or put in dishwasher). It looks amazing as a centerpiece for weddings, birthdays, baby showers, anniversaries - really any special event where you want that farmhouse chic vibe. Disassembles flat for storage too, which is super convenient. Definitely one of those decorative pieces that adds so much character to your table settings.
