Thanksgiving Table Ideas for a Small Apartment: Wood Tiered Risers

When the table is small, build up. Risers lift dishes to different heights, so you can fit more on the table without it looking crowded.

This listing is two sets of stackable wood risers. They are sold as vendor and event display stands, and they work the same way at home.

How it fits a small space

  • Each set has several sizes, so you can build steps.
  • Put the tallest at the back for the main dish and the shortest at the front for sauces.
  • They stack and store flat.

What to know before you buy

  • The finish is dark burnt wood. It looks rustic and darker than the pale farmhouse wood you may see in other photos.
  • Do not put food directly on the wood. Use plates, boards or parchment.
  • Check the dimensions on the listing against your table and your biggest platter.

How to use it

  • Use one riser under a turkey or roast, and two smaller ones for sides.
  • Leave a gap between risers for serving spoons.
  • After the meal, use them on a bookshelf or desk to display plants.
