Are the sides straight up and down, or is there a slight taper to the sides?

Shoved up against a wall edge the top rim of course stops the side from touching but there is a very slight tilt to the sides. With that being said it is about 3/8" from wall to the outside of the basket at the top and about 5/8" from wall to the outside of the basket at the bottom. Of course if they were straight then you would not be able to nest them together. :0)Almost a year in and I am still glad I made the purchase.

They are tapered, but barely .... Maybe a centimeter difference between top and bottom.

I haven't noticed anything extreme in this regard but it does seem to have a slight slope at the edges. I honestly think this has more to do with the fact that the fitted sheets fit extremely snugly on the mattress, which sort of pulls the edges in a bit.

A little. Nothing covering the front, but its not flat along the sides. Does that make sense?

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

Yeah, and the handles on the sides also move up and down a couple of inches. Not sure why.

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)

There is a taper on the seat.. it is thinner on the inside than the outside if that is what you mean by angled.

Except for the Knife, the handles have a slight flip or curve upward at the very end (as apposed to being flat). The curvature elsewhere is normal and not exaggerated in any way.

No, they are not tapered. But we are impressed with the bottom weight of the glass so they do not tip over.Doug

yep both ends open and not slanted. They are a bit too large in diameter though. other than that they're perfectly fine

The middle row can be tilted slightly . The top and bottom obviously stay level .

They are straight but the ends just a bit rounded:) no worries with small kids

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.

Yes, the ends have a taper and corners aren't sharp . My wife only has use of her left side, and she occasionally uses this to transfer from wheel chair to an easy chair.

They are straight,but creased so that they can be formed for corners as well. They are not quite as high as I would have liked ,but they do work pretty well.

They are perfectly rectangular--no taper. These are very basic but nice covers. I bought some for home and liked them enough to buy some for the beach.

The back and sides all angle in slightly as they go down, they are not quite 90 degrees but very close.
