This is so much nicer in real life than the pictures can show. It’s a heavy plastic, finished very nice. And it spins so smooth. The base has 4 non-slip pads on it, so it’s not going to go sliding across a smooth countertop or table. There is a latch on the underside that locks the plate into place. Plenty of room, also. Will hold an extra wide pie, a double decker cake, and a ton of cupcakes. It looks nice without being frilly and lacy, so it will work well for many different occasions. Also includes a lot of accessories so you can make roses. Have not tried that out, it looks pretty intense and I do not have a steady hand. But, the videos you have access to walk you through it pretty well.
I have it 4 out of 5 stars because mine did show up scratched and dirty.
