Is this suitable for serving dishes on small buffet, or best used as individual plate?

Good morning Connie, This item could be used for both mentioned in your question. It keeps your food hot. Of course, if you are serving a buffet style meal it's recommended to keep a check on the temperature of the food. I hope this helps. Thanks and have a great day!

I think they are a little small for dinner plates. I use them for dessert or salad

As long as you are using it with paper plates it will look fine. Nice looking and sturdy enough for a 1 occasion use.Hope this helps.

I have used this table for serving dinners to 12 people. I have also used it for buffet dinners which would mean heavy serving dishes with food as well as plates and silver. It has been used as a display table at shows. It is a very strong table, but I don't know the weight capacity.

I use it all the time to eat. I definitely wouldn't try to put anything of significant weight on it, but it's plenty sturdy for eating or normal "table top" items one might expect to have.

Yes, it would be fine. Do keep in mind that it is not terribly big, so if you are using a large turkey platter, this fork might look flimsy beside it. If you have sliced meat on a dinner-plate-size plate, it would be just right.

If I need to use a dinner plate, I just put the scale close to the edge of the counter. The display is angled, so you can sort of stoop down and look under the edge of the plate. It's not made to accommodate large plates but it is possible. With a smaller, salad sized plate, there is very little obstruction at all.

It would probably be ok I'm using mine for for serving platters. When I organized my pan cabinet I got the one that stood the fry pan up on their sides which really worked out nice I can stand 4 pans and access them easily (if you have the height in your cabinet). And the pans are heavy but the organizer doesn't have to support all their weight.

Just the opposite. This is great for party buffets. I had one very similar for 10 years. It was used outside for all of our pool parties and also inside for holiday buffets. It unfortunately chipped after it was dropped and hit a concrete floor. I was very pleased when I found this one as a replacement.

It is a bit smaller than the dinner plate, so I use mine as a luncheon plate and/or a dessert plate. A sandwich and a few chips fit right on there!

I use mine just like I would a plate and serve entire meals on it. Keeps food from sliding off, which is great for younger kids. It is not deep enough (in my opinion) for cereal or oatmeal. Oh, it's also a great pie pan!

Yes 6 people should work at this table, but there would not be much room for serving plates with food. That would have to be at a separate table.

Yes! I used this plate rack for my christmas dinner buffet. All mine fine china plates fit on it great! When not using it to stack plates, I just have three regular sized decorative plates on it! Looks really nice and is very sturdy! Love it!

They are wide, more like dinner size bowls. But of course, it depends on one's taste. So they can be used for a small serving or large serving. Everything in the set is supersized, bigger, but not heavier than any plates/bowls I have ever owned. I still like them, because I can serve any size food without the spills or mess of using small serving dishes/plates.

HI,I sell vintage dishes and glassware at various outdoor venues. I bought 5 of these to display dishes. They work great for me. I can usually fit a dinner plate, salad plate and saucer into each opening. I feel that the rack would be sturdy enough for cutting boards. If you are moving the rack when full, you need to hold from the bottom.

Yes. It's perfect for serving meat. It's larger than dinner forks but smaller than many serving forks---in a good way. I have many serving forks and the others seem almost too big. This one is perfect.

I agree with Leonard. For home use it's wonderful but I don't think I'd try to use it for catering. I can't recommend a commercial quality buffet server/warmer either. I sure do wish you great success with your business though! Have a great time!
