This cake stand is awesome. I am a very avid baker and I've been needing a rotating turntable for when I decorate my cakes. This one definintely did not disappoint. It's ready to use right out of the box. It spins so easy no matter which way you need it. On the bottom of the turntable there is a button you slide over so it locks in place. Definitely handy for serving guests! It also came with some flower tips and piping bags. I'm not as proficient with them as I'd like to be yet but they are great for helping me practice. Overall, this is a great addition for any baker to have. I would definintely recommend!
