A riser is shorter and often part of a tiered set, used to add mid-zone height to a buffet. Plinths New York makes both. Caterers mix them to create multi-level displays that draw the eye from across the room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat size risers do I need for a 6-foot buffet table?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree to five risers at three different heights. One tall plinth (10 to 18 inches) for the hero dish, two mid risers (5 to 9 inches) for chafing dishes or cold platters, and one to two short platforms (under 4 inches) at the front. The Large Trio Set or White Range give you the full range in one purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAre acrylic display risers food safe?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Plinths New York risers are made from commercial-grade 5mm acrylic that is non-porous and meets food-contact safety standards. They are easy to clean between services and do not absorb moisture or food residue the way wood or fabric-covered risers do.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use food display risers outdoors?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, our commercial 5mm acrylic is rated for continuous outdoor use at typical event temperatures. Avoid leaving risers in direct afternoon sun for longer than 2 hours. Heat buildup can soften consumer-grade acrylic, though our commercial grade is more tolerant than most.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long do professional acrylic risers last?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlinths New York display risers are rated for daily commercial use and backed by a 3-year professional warranty. Most caterers report 5+ years of active use before pieces show wear. Replacement piece availability is guaranteed for the life of each product line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e\n{\n  \"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n  \"@type\": \"FAQPage\",\n  \"mainEntity\": [\n    {\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What is the difference between a plinth and a riser?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"A plinth is typically a tall, single-piece display column used for hero dishes or dessert table centerpieces.
