Lazy Susan, Heavy-Duty Swivel

My wife's hobby is creating buildings using Legos. I put her base on a [slimline] lazy susan so she could easily turn the project to work on different sides. This product works ok, but is a bit expensive for what it is. Also, be aware your wood needs to be at lease 1/2" thick, no 7/16" plywood, because of the mounting hardware.

I used the lazy susan for a six shelf highbook case, the shelves are 20 inch by 20 inch, the distance between shelves is 10 inches, each shelf holds 36 books the weight per shelf is 36 lbs. the lazy susan rotates with one finger push. Also used spindles from Rockler as supports for shelves.

I ordered 4 SLIMLINE lazy susans 9 years ago when I remodeled my kitchen. I had one of those kitchen corner cabinets where everything gets lost in the back. I did not want the four shelf lazy susan on a pole because there is too much wasted air space. Instead, I ordered the cabinet with 4 shelves and purchased the slimline lazy susan from Rockler and round shelves from another cabinet supply house. This setup allows use of the shelf space on the sides of each round shelf. I was concerned at first because the slimline is so thin I did not think it would work. I wanted to have the least amount of space wasted, so I thought I'd give it a try. The slimline was easy to install and has worked well for me. There is a lot of weight on each shelf with 5 lb. bags of sugar and bottles of marinades as well as glassware for cooking. I have never had a problem with this item and would recommend it highly. My shelves spin as well today as they did when installed 9 years ago. My daughter recently purchased a home with one of the dreaded corner cabinets. I gave her the slimline lazy susans and round shelves for Christmas. With the easy directions and the fact that these slimline lazy susans take up little space, I am sure that she will be very satisfied with this product.

I was very disappointed in the SLIMLINE version of these lazy susans. They require a VERY smooth and level surface, and do not work at all well when I tried to use them for built-in revolving shelves in a corner cabinet. The cabinet bottom is not quite level, and the plywood I used for the shelf is not smooth enough, nor dimensionally stable enough. I was trying to maintain as much vertical clearance as possible, but I had to revert to the conventional lazy susan to overcome these issues. I expect the slimline version would work better with a smooth, hard, and level surface.

I joined the B-9 robot builder's club and needed a 17" lazy susan for the torso. This is the one recommended by the club, it works very nice, smooth rotation, thin profile, easy mounting.
