mizbizzyb Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 For those that use these....I am looking at the 4 step one...how many candles do you normally get on these. I saw some different ones on ebay that guarantee how much weight theirs hold...when I called gershel they did not know how much it would hold...so that brings me here.Anyone care to share before I waste some money?

Linnyeg Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 I have the 2/3 step ones.. I use it as a 3 step & it holds my 16oz apothecary candles on all 3 steps! (probably 6 to a step?) They're strong. They have started to bow though, after about a year of use. Once I can find someone to make me wood risers that fold i'll be retiring them.

Candybee Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 I have the 4-step. They hold a lot of candles! I use em for my 10, 16, and 26 oz apothecary jar candles. They hold at least 5 jars on each tier. My jars are 4 inches across so thats a lot. I don't use the top tier because I am afraid of jars falling off.I put at least two risers together to make one long display. By putting jars on the risers and in front I can make a display of about 40+ candles.They are pretty sturdy. I have used them several times-- I take em apart every time I am finished using them and put em back in their original box to save packing room in my car.

Candybee Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 I got a spinner from them too for my clamshells. I like their display stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 4 step mold, holds approximately one candle lined up in a row, about 13 across, maybe it was 15. I can count for you this weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LynnS Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Good post.Got mine just over a week ago.Still sitting on my porch since I got busy with my husband's illness and accident.So now I know what to expect because I haven't opened the box yet.I do have a wood riser and it is fine but wanted to get more this year and this was the cheapst route and heard good things about them.Can't wait to try them.I did get in my juried show for this week-end.My wood riser is now holding my products for my juried pic I took yesterday.All I did was take the pic to the organizer with money.She looked at it and told me to choose a space.Then got the pic back in case I wanted to use it again.The next juried is a Christmas show so will do another pic.Seems Like I got something else from Gershel so cannot wait to open my box.Might be a big surprise and the show is a few days away.I hope my other surprise is GOOD WEATHER.Been rainy and damp.Don't need cardboard risers on rainy days for sure.My risers are 2 and 3 step.I bet those 4 step do hold alot.LynnS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockin Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 I love our 4 step risers. Since we us them on 20 inch wide tables it is kinda tight trying to get 5 rows. With a 24 by 48 table it is no problem. I just got their catalog in the mail today and lots of cool stuff. Rockin:yay: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iammommytwo Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 They're the best investment I've made (so far...lol).Here are some not too good pics.http://s90.photobucket.com/albums/k256/iammommytwo/?action=firstLogin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LynnS Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 When I use my 3 step wood riser it seems high enough.People bumping into tables etc worries me to get much higher.Would take up less room but I am leery.On top I think I will have decoration and maybe a few candles but last show I got quite a bit on the 3 step.Also I use the nicest bookcases I got at Wal Mart 3 years ago.Customers ask me where I got them and crafters say they are nice too.So with my 2 bookcases, 1 wood riser and 3 cardboard risers I should have plenty of candles.Well after I start making more today and tomorrow.Got my scents picked out and testing a jar today.A pumpkin jar I got at Big Lots.Everyone loves those with the hats and the small ones I did last year.The new one is a much bigger and wider pumpkin jar with what looks like or is cut glass pieces.LynnS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
