do you have to use all 5 tiers, or can you use 2-3 tiers only?

It screws together starting with the base (tripod) then a tier then another metal rod screws into the base locking in the first tier while providing a base for the next tier, etc. Eventually the single cup cake tier you see at the top finishes it off. You could feasibly use 2-3 tiers. You'd just have to decide if you want the exposed rod threading at the top or you want to move the single cup cake tier down to finish it off. The width of the rod doesn't change so the placement of them aren't tier-dependent.

Yes. Very easily done. I've used it as a two and three tier. Beautiful piece!

I went a bit heavy and used 4. You can probably get away with 3 though. Hope this helps! -Derek.

I really don't know. I have always used 4 and never thought about using 2. I don't know why you could use just 2 though.

If you mean can you add more units past the 4th unit, I don't know. I only have the 4 units that came with it. It is my understanding that it would be possible to add as many units as you wanted, based on how it works though. But I can't honestly say.

1. You can assemble this without all of the tiers. However, it assembles from the bottom upward. The bottom tier is what allows the tower to sit flat. So for example you cannot use just the top 3 tiers. You can however, use just the bottom 3 tiers. We had one of these at our wedding this past summer. We left the topmost tier off. We filled the bottom tiers with cupcakes and the final tier held a small cake for cutting. It was perfect! 2. It is supposed to hold 80 - 100 full size cupcakes, depending on how tightly or loosely you pack them onto the tiers. I am not sure about jumbo size cupcakes, we used a size between mini and regular. Here is the breakdown by tier, incase you want to leave some tiers off : *Top Tier- 6.5 inch (5 cupcakes or 9 mini) *Second Tier- 11 inch (12 cupcakes or 20 minis) *Third Tier- 14 inch (16 cupcakes or 38 minis) *Fourth Tier- 17 inch (20 cupcakes or 48 minis) *Fifth Tier- 20 inch (32 cupcakes or 70 minis) *There is a 4 inch clearance between each tier. I would measure those jumbos and make sure they are not too high!

I don't know how tall the unit is but my son uses it all the time for himself.You don't have to use all the tiers at once if you don't want to.

They come in separate pieces, so if you're assembling it for the first time, then yes; you can use only 2 if you wish. But if you've already attached all 3 together, they'll be pretty much impossible to separate without breaking.

You can use it to make 2 or 4 tiers. You can even make 2 shorter separate stands.

Hello! No the tiers in this kit cannot be separated. They are designed so the tall side has 4 sides and the shorter only has 3. Amazon does have other units available from Greenes but they cost more per unit than this one.

I had purchased 48 cupcakes. ..now you have to understand. ..my family was into them before the party started. I had 36 on there and still room for more. You will enjoy how efficient this tier is. You can break it down and use as serving trays or use it as a 2 tier or 3. You will find many uses for it. Enjoy

Yes you can use up to 3 filters at a time it has 3 slots available. But usually 1 only use max 2 filters just like you mentioned. Hope my explanation helps.

I used this for standard/regular sized cupcakes - aprox 120. Yes, you can put together without all the tiers. I have used the first 3 tiers for smaller parties and it worked fine. Easy to clean with a damped cloth. Love this product, worth the purchase. Hope I was able to answer your questions.

Yes, you could use just the base and not install the second tier. I haven't tried that myself, but looking at it I don't see why you couldn't.

You can't with the way it comes right out the the box. Each tier has slots cut into it to hold the cross pieces below and above. Because each tier changes in height, the slots on the top of the tier won't match the cross pieces from a tier identical in size.However, I think it would be fairly simple to modify the slots to accommodate the cross pieces if you wanted to try it. Life Jeff said, I would also consider adjustments for stability. For example, out of the box, it has these toilet paper roll looking things to stabilize the bottom tier. You might want to consider adding more if you're using multiples of the larger tiers.Good Luck :) You can't with the way it comes right out the the box.

You can use one, two, or all three layers, it's not necessary to use all three.

Not if you use to many layers. ONe or two should be sufficient. I plan on doing it this spring.
