tiered stand

Stacked serving platform

A tiered stand is a display piece with multiple levels stacked vertically, used to present food, plants, or decorative items in an attractive, space-efficient arrangement.

The classic form is the three-tiered serving stand for afternoon tea, holding sandwiches, scones, and pastries on ascending platforms.

Tiered stands appear in kitchens for fruit, on tables for cupcakes at parties, and in retail settings for merchandise.
