FAQs

What are the dimensions of the cake stand?

Is assembly difficult?

Assembly is required, but typically straightforward. Please refer to the provided instructions for a step-by-step guide.

Can the slate tiles be put in the dishwasher?

No, the slate tiles are designed for handwashing only. Dishwashers can damage the natural slate material.

Is this stand suitable for hot food?

While slate can be used for serving many types of food, it is not recommended to place very hot items directly onto the slate, especially if it is not oil-treated. It's best for serving room temperature or chilled foods.

Can I use this stand outdoors?

Yes, the stand is suitable for outdoor use, such as garden parties or patio gatherings. Ensure it is placed on a stable surface.

What does 'not oil treated' mean for the slate?

'Not oil treated' means the slate has not undergone a process to seal its surface with oil. This can affect its porosity and appearance. It is important to clean and dry it promptly after use to prevent staining or absorption.

Is this a good gift for food lovers?

Yes, this slate cake stand is considered a distinctive and practical gift for food lovers and those who enjoy entertaining.

Troubleshooting

Wobbly or unstable stand

Ensure all screws and components of the frame are tightly secured during assembly. Check that the slate tiers are correctly seated on the frame supports.

Slate tiles are difficult to clean

For stubborn food residues, soak the slate tiles in warm, soapy water for a short period before washing. Use a soft sponge or cloth.

Frame does not fold or unfold smoothly

Check for any obstructions or debris in the folding mechanism. Ensure the slate tiers are removed before attempting to fold the frame for storage.
