Yes the sides are straight and the corners square. Very good for layer cakes. I have several sizes and love these pans.

The bottom corners are mostly square. The reason they are not absolutely square is because it would create a problem with release of the cake as well as cleaning. You will notice that most bread pans have some taper to their sides which reduces frction when releasing the bread. Absolutely square corners would increase the friction on the corners of the cake causing them to tear. This pan is non-stick but not quite like like teflon. If you put some release agent on it (crisco and flour mixture) they release nicely. DO NOT USE METAL UTENSILS ON ANODIZED COOKWARE. We use cloths or pan protectors to prevent damage to the anodization. Nice pans but have increased substantially in price over the last year. The bottom corners are mostly square.

Yes, the sides are straight and it does have square corners which was one of the reasons I originally chose it. It is a very nice pan for making large cakes.

The sides are straight but rounded where the side meets the bottom. The corners are rounded. That is there is no straight, sharp corner (like a box)

The sides are straight with square corners and no seams! So easy to clean! A seamless flange around the top edges makes it easy to lift when full and carry. There are NO seams! Love it! Great quality!

Yes and Yes. The bottom corners of the pan do look a bit rounded, but i assure you that you'll have a straight-sided cake with good corners! Don't forget to line the entire bottom with parchment. Most of the reviews say this pan is non-stick, but it absolutely not.

The corners are square (not rounded) but I wouldn't call them sharp. My two year old plays with his kitchen daily and we have never had any problems.

They are rounded in the corners. The sides of the pan are straight. Works great for all baking, etc.

Yes, the sides seem to be perfectly straight, and the top edge has a small rolled lip which is maybe about 1/4 inch. The pan is sturdy and doesn't have any "give" or bend to it. After you invert the baked cake layer, the top edges are "sort of" rounded, as compared to some cheaper pans which are usually squared off, so it doesn't seem to crumble quite as much when I put on the frosting. I love these.

I've had great success with this pan, no dome. And I love the square corners. I have this pan in 2 sizes and it's great.

It is a square vertical pan. Very pleased with the bread machine. Does a great job for the price

Sides are straight. Great cake pans with even cooking. So glad I bought them.

The sides are straight, the corners are curved, The cups are just like normal muffin cups, smaller at the bottom, larger in diameter at the top.

Unfortunately not and can't say that I have ever seen one that is straight. Perhaps it is made like this in order for what you are baking to rise properly.

The pan is large enough but the corners are quite rounded you might have some trouble there. By the way I absolutely love the pans they are great for baking.

I bought one about 3 months ago and mine is definitely a true square. However, the corners do stretch out when you hang it so that each side curves a little. Maybe as much as a foot in the middle of each side.

I didn't buy the round pan, but the 8 inch square one seems straight to me.

The corners are rounded and sides are tapered. In comparison, I also have a pair of Wilton square cake pans and they have true squared corners and straight sides.

The corners are mostly smooth. This was a concern for me too but it turned out to be perfect. No sharp edges to worry about.

Yes the bottom is flat with curved sides. My husband loves this pan because he is a amateur chef and he is strong enough to flip contents over an open fire with this pan as well.

My pots and pans don't hang side ways but don't face flat against the wall. There's a slight angle. I'm happy with it.

The Sides are flat, but there is a very small (less than 1/4 inch) overhang of the countertop. Your plumber will probably be able to make adjustments so that you can put it in a corner with no issues.
