Product Description

Because the three platters in this set stack or stand on their own they provide plenty of options for serving hors d'oeuvres, sweets, or fruit or for creating a dramatic centerpiece. Each platter has its own pedestal attached so the three can be arrayed singly or in combinations. Their clean lines coordinate with any dinnerware. Made of durable pressed glass, the platters measure 13, 10, and 8 inches in diameter, and when stacked, they are 12-3/4 inches high. They are dishwasher-safe. --Fred Brack

5.0 out of 5 stars Anchor Hocking Presence 3-Tier Platter Set November 20, 2009

I bought this to use at a baby shower for displaying cupcakes because I'm philosophically opposed to buying kitchen items that do only one thing - so a dedicated cupcake tree was right out.

This set worked beautifully. Since the plate portions are not perfectly flat (as you can see in the picture), I used shredded paper basket fill to prevent the cupcakes from tilting inward. Filling the plates with M&Ms or jelly beans or other small loose candies would also perform the same function. A bonus was that, since the tiers are standalone, I didn't have to have them centered - I positioned each stand a little off-center on the one below it.

The result looked so good that people assumed I did this for a living - and it was just cupcakes decorated with colored sugar and cupcake picks.

I was a little concerned by another reviewer who said that the plate and the foot were cheaply glued together and that the glue was visible, but I think that might have been bad luck. My set looks great and all the pieces are clean where the plate and foot are joined.

I would absolutely recommend and purchase these again - in fact, at this price I'm thinking about getting another set.

Pros: Multi-functional, feels expensive because it's glass, looks great when serving.

Cons: The packaging is horrible - the box is divided into three triangles with a piece of bent cardboard and one tier goes into each triangle. No styrofoam, no paper, nothing at all to cushion the pieces - and the pieces don't fit that snugly into their sections. Mine arrived with no damage, and based on other reviews it looks like only a few people have had problems - but I'm really surprised that's the case. Still, at this price and value, I'd recommend taking the chance and purchasing this set - just purchase well before you need it, and make sure of the return policy, just in case something does happen.

Note: When I purchased these in 2009, they were $25 for the set - well worth the price. I'd consider anything under $30-$35 to be worth it, and anything under $25 a steal. For over $35, I'd probably look around a bit to see what else was out there.

5.0 out of 5 stars These are the Best ! May 23, 2006

I bought two of these a couple of years ago. I've done weddings, showers, Christmas parties,etc.. These cannot be beat! The look beautiful holding desserts, party favors, party snacks. I put one on each side of my Chocolate fountain to hold the fruit/snacks that are to be dipped into the chocolate. I am currently placing an order for 3 more, because they hold so much food and they keep the serving table from becoming to crowded. Love them !!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars 3 Tier Platter a must have for entertaining January 11, 2007

This is a great set to have on hand. The simple design mixes and matches with everything you own. Stacked it makes a great holiday centepiece even without food. Just use votives and greenery and voila! Used separately the pieces are available for treats, pies, and look great on the buffet table or at a luncheon with tea sandwiches. All in all-- a GREAT VALUE!
