The first impression of Diemker ‘s wooden serving trolley with platters is thoroughly positive. The product is delivered in classic shipping packaging that is both attractive and functional . The compact packaging ensures that the product is optimally protected during transport and is not damaged. This is particularly important for delicate wooden products that can easily scratch or break.
Another advantage is the sustainability of the packaging. The etagere is shipped in recyclable product packaging, which appeals to the environmentally conscious consumer. In addition, plastic packaging protects the individual components of the etagere from external influences. When inspecting the contents of the packaging, we found that all parts are complete and in perfect condition, which indicates careful quality control. The enclosed instructions for use are written clearly and comprehensibly in German , which makes the product easier to use and ensures that even less experienced users can handle it without any problems.

When you first touch the wooden etagere with serving platters from Diemker , the high-quality workmanship immediately catches the eye. The etagere has an appealing design that is both functional and aesthetic. The use of fine pine wood not only emphasises the sustainability of the product, but also lends it a natural elegance.
The workmanship is consistently high quality, with no unsightly edges or processing errors to be recognised. It is also worth noting that the wood does not have an unpleasant odour, which is often the case with inferior products. This speaks in favour of the care with which Diemker manufactures its products.
Another positive aspect is the excellent stability of the tray. It conveys a feeling of robustness and durability to the touch, which is very important for the end user.

At the time of testing, the product had not been listed on Amazon for long enough. Therefore, the existing reviews do not sufficiently reflect the advantages and disadvantages of the product, so this point is neglected in the evaluation.
Prices of up to €146.24 are charged on the internet for equivalent products. Very affordable products are available from as little as €39.99 . With a price of €79.95, the Diemker Wooden Tables with Serving Plates is therefore currently in the middle price segment. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is very good.
