1-rod stand
Transform a simple brunch into a sophisticated experience. Whether you’re hosting a wedding, a baby shower, or a corporate breakfast, our Bagel Stands provide a stunning, showcase for your bagels and donuts. Designed to replace cluttered platters with elegant height, these stands turn your food into part of the decor.
Modular by Design
Versatility is built into every board. Available in 1, 2, 3, or 4-rod configurations, each stand features threaded rods for easy assembly and teardown. This allows the rods to be easily removed for flat storage or transport, and then quickly hand-tightened for a rock-solid display on event day. It’s professional-grade catering equipment designed for the home host.
Customizable to Event
Every stand comes ready for the party. We include a set of individual blackboard signs (one per rod) and a chalk marker, allowing you to label everything from "Gluten-Free" to "Everything" with hand-lettered charm.

Questions
How do I pick the right rod count?
Count heads, then pick the rod count whose capacity covers that number. So a 30-person event → 30 bagels → the 4-rod stand at 28–36 bagels is right for you. The capacity table on this page lists exact per-rod-count numbers.
Are the schmear-kit trays separate or attached?
Separate. They are stand-alone porcelain trays you can easily move to fill your table. Each tray fits 13 oz of schmear and has its own chalkboard label sign so you can label what's inside.
Can the stand go in the dishwasher?
No. The polycrylic finish is food-touch-safe but the wood underneath isn't dishwasher-safe. Wipe it down with a damp cloth between uses. The chalkboard signs come clean with a wipe of water and a microfiber cloth.
Can I use it for donuts instead of bagels?
Yes, donuts work! The rod diameter accommodates them, and the donut capacity (8–10 per rod) is on the size-guide table.
How long does it take to ship?
Orders ship in 3–5 business days from the workshop in Colorado Springs. You'll get a tracking number by email when your package leaves. US shipping only at this time.

How do I take care of my products?
Bagel boards: soak in water before each use, hand-wash with mild soap, air-dry standing on edge, and rub on a thin coat of food-safe mineral oil every few months. Bagel stands: wipe with a damp cloth, do not soak. The finish is food-touch-safe but not dishwasher-safe. Product-specific care details live on each product page.
