You can use it with or without the pineapple dip holder. It holds about 2 cups of your favorite dip or jelly. There are holes in the pineapple to hold toothpicks. Set comes with 8 wood pieces to be used as spoons or knives.
They are curved to scoop and spread the dips. The beautiful wood tones and beautiful hand carving all around this base is remarkable. A few very tiny, light scratches from moving the bowls in and out of the tray. Underneath there is a very, very slight crack in the wood at the center.
I tried to show it in the last picture. This is a beautiful, clean, heavy, statement centerpiece for any meal or event.
