This cake server endures a lot of abuse (kids, inside, outside, lots of use) and doesn't show much, if any, wear and tear. Its definitely tall enough for a layer cake and is nice enough to bring to a party. Love it!
I love my cake server. I'm an avid baker and often bring goodies to work, parties, and friend's houses. I use the cake server here because it is sturdy and looks impressive. I've even sold a few of my cheesecakes and used these Sterilite Cake Servers when I give it to my customers. I use them for more than cakes though. I can stack different baked goods in them and it's sturdy enough that it doesn't bend or fall through when I hold it by it's handle. I'd recommend this product to anyone :)
I have had this cake keeper for years. I love that it keeps my cakes fresh and protected.
The only problem that I've noticed with it is that the bottom is "slick" and a cake on a plate inside will slide if it is tilted even a little bit. Needless to say, we carry it carefully.
Other than that, it's been a good, sturdy, and useful product.
