Introduction

A floating platter uses hidden supports to create the illusion of food hovering above the table.

  • Pick tempered glass or acacia wood tops that resist scratches from knives and trays.
  • Check weight limits so the hidden stand stays stable with heavy dishes.
  • Choose round or rectangular shapes to fit charcuterie, sushi, or dessert spreads.
