While this gorgeous cake stand is more than I can afford for everyday use, but given that it's handcrafted with sustainable soft maple wood, I understand the price tag. If I did own this stand, I would make use of every penny and would use it every day. I'd keep this on my kitchen counter to corral those pesky, random bits that end up all over the kitchen (my olive oil, the butter dish, salt and pepper shakers, whatever). — Meaghan Mountford
