Pricey, but works.
You get TWO cake boards in the package, not just one as the title implies. This base is recommended to use under heavy cakes. It is suggested in the third Wilton decorating class, "Gum Paste and Fondant", that you bring this board or tape two regular twelve inch cake boards together and cover them with foil. Believe me, this one works better since it's the thickness of at least three regular cake boards and the foil on it is quite smooth which makes covering it with fondant (for decoration and to give you more space to put borders/flowers etc.) a whole lot easier. This board is pretty much a one time use product especially if you cover it with fondant (Using piping gel to 'glue' the fondant to the board is common practice and once dried pretty much sticks like glue). It is sturdy and will easily hold an 8, 9 or 10 inch cake while leaving you a bit of room around the bottom for additional decoration. Whether you cover this base or not, I would still recommend you put a regular cake board, the size of your cake underneath your cake for ease of cutting. I could also see this base being used for kids to make dioramas for school. It won't bend and has a lot of surface area to work with. I purchased a plastic box at Michaels, about 14 inches square to transport my covered cake board to and from class. Afterwards, I used the box to store my various cake rounds in.I dinged this one star for price, because it seems a bit much for what you get.

Not the best Wilton product I've purchased
These arrived in the manufacturer packaging, however as you can see in the picture they were very shoddy construction. The foil is not even covering all of the cardboard core. I needed them for a wedding cake, and thankfully I have cake decorators foil I used to cover this, but I should not have had to. These come covered, so one does not have to cover them again. Very disappointing Wilton.
