Catering-scale cube risers start at 8 inches and go up to 16+ inches. Consumer cubes sold on Amazon (6-10 inches) are designed for retail jewelry displays, not full-size catering platters. Professional cube risers hold 15+ pounds per cube.
How many cube risers do I need for a buffet?
For a cocktail station, 3-4 cubes. For a standard 8-12 foot buffet, a 7-piece nesting set. For grand buffets over 16 feet, pair the 7-piece set with a trio set.
What is the difference between 5mm and 3mm acrylic?
5mm cast acrylic is commercial-grade: holds 15+ pounds, resists clouding and cracking, lasts 500+ events. 3mm injection-molded acrylic is consumer-grade: flexes under load, clouds after 40-60 events, cracks at seams. All our cube risers use 5mm acrylic.
Do cube risers nest inside each other?
Yes. Precision-cut so each cube sits snugly inside the next. The full 7-piece set travels in the space of a single cube.
