Reviews for Choice Deluxe 8 Qt. Full Size Stackable Chafer

Excited to find this item and a good price, but excitement changed to disappointed when removing the item to use at my son's rehearsal dinner; extremely disappointed in this item, quality was not what was expected; sturdiness and luster of product was poor; all material was thinner than expected, construction of the item was cheaply put together; did not expect the handles and legs to be glued on, use to being screwed on; needed it for a buffet table at a rehearsal dinner; had no time to replace as i did not examine when received thought I was getting a superior product based on customer reviews; had to use it along with the other items purchased in this line and just as equally dissatisfied with those products as well...6 qt oval gold accent chafer and 4 qt round gold accent chafer. I would not recommend if you really one elegance; far from it in my opinion.

Ok, so these Chafers are not durable, lets go ahead and get rid of that idea. They are EXTREMELY thin and obviously scratch and dent very easily. Every Chafer I received had scratches and dents. Its basically like i bought used Chafers. Now, keep in mind that at the price, I kinda expected thin chafers that I could use till they got beat up and just toss them and get new. I just didn't know they would be beat up for me. Unfortunately, I need them for an event next week, so I don't have time to return them. They would have gotten three stars except for one other thing. The gold accents are just painted on, so it scratches off pretty easily. One of my frames came with the gold scratched up. So I feel like paying the extra per chafer was kind of a waste of money, and would Read More

We received our chafer today and all pieces where there. As I was looking at them the gold finish looks very dull and rusty looking, they don't look nothing like the pictures. The edges of the food and water pans were BENT, I USUALLY DON'T HAVE PROBLEMS WITH WEBSTAURANT BUT LATELY I'VE BEEN MISSING PIECES AND GETTING DAMAGED ITEMS.

Love these Chafers! They look great are very durable and do really stack. We have a set of 6 and that we use regularly for events.

In one word? Flimsy; the metal this is made of is so thin you might as well consider it to be disposable. The water pans are so flimsy we had a stack of them sink into each other and they are inseparable without destroying the pans. The only really acceptable part is the support frame and lids, which are less flimsy than the rest. The frames stack nicely, and the lids aren't terrible. Otherwise I regret buying this product.

Easy set up and breakdown. I saved the boxes it came in for easy storage. Makes your buffet set up look elegant like a hotel set up.

Really enjoy using these chafers. They are very durable and easy to clean. I use a bit of baking soda to give them a nice shine when needed. I like these better than the typical black handled chafers.

Well made, not flimsy at all which was my original fear. They are not completely collapsible, but you can pack everything up into its original frame perfectly. Very classy, doesn't look cheap at all. Very happy with this purchase.

I actually purchased these chafers for my wedding. To be honest, I kept holding off on my purchase in hopes of a coupon, but there was never a promotion, so I just bought them at normal price in order to make sure they arrived on time. When they arrived I was surprised at how big the boxes were, having ordered 6 at one time, my fiance started to freak out with all the boxes. Trust me when I say these are worth the money! The size of the box is the actual size of the chafer! I opted out for the gold trim to better match the wedding colors. The material and style do not look cheap at all. I am so glad I purchased these. I have not yet used them with the wedding in October, but I can't wait. The only downside, which was my mistake, is that they do not come with any sternos. But Webstaurant has the best deal on chafing fuels. Thank you again Webstaurant.com!

Do NOT order these chafers for a restaurant. Maybe for home use....they are NOT durable at ALL as stated in the description. Just a heads up. The company was very good about me returning them.

These stackable chafers are the best. Price is great and they look great. A wonderful addition to our inventory. Should rent well many times over.

We have been using these chafing dishes for over a year now. They are still in great condition and are a favorite of ours as they have a stainless handle on the lid that makes them just a little different!

These chafers were the perfect price. Very bouncy during service and i don't for see them holding up to constant use. I would definitely upgrade from these

They look very good. They're very sturdy. I purchased them for a wedding for my Catering business. They did what they were designed to do. I'm glad I made this purchase.

Looks very pretty but the legs coming apart upon opening the box

Perfect for serving a group of guests or using for catering. Love this product!

Love it

I setup the food warmer in our restaurant. It is easy to set up and compartments are easy to remove and cleanup of the pan is easy. It warms up really fast and stay warms. Highly recommended!!!

The worst quality I have ever ordered from webstaurantstore, I do not recommend it to any buyer, the moment I've opened the box, I was very disappointed, flimsy, bad quality, I don't know if I can use it more than once or twice, webstaurantstore should not be selling this on their site. Bad bad bad. If I can return all six I would have.

Worked Great easy to stack

Love the look of these elegant chafers. I purchased multiple pieces from this line. They make your events a little extra and clients love them.

stackable is the way to go. We bought like 12 of these. They are a bit more expensive but being stackable is very helpful for space saving

I ordered multiples of these for my small catering business and for personal use. They Are beautiful and kept the food safe and warm. Love these.

Cheap and flimsy. After paying an extra money for expedited shipping I assumed my chafers would be better. You do not get what you pay for, you get worse

THE GOLD ACCENTS MAKES THESE CHAFERS LOOK VERY CLASSY WHEN USED AT ANY OF MY EVENTS, ESPECIALLY FOR THE WEDDINGS I'M CATERING FOR. HOWEVER, WHEN TRANSPORTING THEM AVOID STACKING THEM AS THE GOLD ACCENTS ON THEIR LEGS WILL GET SCRATCHED.

These look really good and expensive. The colors are bright and the material seems like good quality. I haven’t used these yet but with the looks of it they look pretty promising!

Beautiful set!!. Great product, A must have for party set ups!!. This will keep foods warm and organized. Full size, can be stacked together when not in use.

The best deal around for chafing sets. Sturdy heavy weight and looks good on any buffet line. We love that they can be stacked easily for storage.

Just what i needed. Affordable and quality was just right. I use it maybe 3 or 4 times and it looks beand new. Qas delivered prettu fast, and it looks nice.

I ordered 4 of these chafers to use at my son's 50th birthday party. They looked great on the buffet table. The gold trim really dressed it up. It was also great having the clips on the stand to hold the covers. Did not have to wonder wear to put them.

Best Buy! Good material and so happy with the quality . Even my aunt and sister in law was so satisfied with this product! Highly recommended

Top of the class for me. For the price? This is a winner anytime. Its looks so elegant and study and beautiful all at the same time. This is an investment worth taking. Am happy i did.

We bought multiple chafers as we love to match on a buffet. They are sturdy, but not overly cumbersome when traveling to an event. The base folds up nicely. Easy to clean and love the lid holder. These chafers are a must on a buffet.

This is a great chafer for an extremely low price! Durable and very easy to use, transfer and set up. Very good for big events

Needed one more chafer for our holiday functions and chose this one for its elegance. Did not disappoint. Very good size and works great on single or double trays.

Very pretty pans. Ordering more for a wedding. You get what you pay for but I think it it worth the money for my events. Good price.

Great set for an economical price. I still after a few years of heavy catering use. Light and stackable. Comes with water pan, hotel pan, lids, base and sterno holder. Good buy!
