And round it was upon a shelf
This two-tiered turntable was tasked with turning our cluttered countertop from storage to surface again. We got one of those tall & skinny chrome wire shelving units for a kitchen corner by the stove, placed the turntable on a shelf at eye level, and stacked it with about 20 spice canisters ranging in size from standard-issue sprinklers to 4-ounce, 2.5-inch diameter jars. It has held up to daily abuse without so much as a peep for two months and counting.The unit is space saving, no doubt about it, and its wheel-science rotational functionality does exactly what you’d expect it to do: it makes accessible the items in the back without the major hassle–oh, the inconvenience!–of first removing the items in the front. Turntables are front/back equalizers by nature; they can’t help themselves. It rotates just fine, aided by its circularity, but it’s not as smooth as, say, a zero-friction perpetual motion whirligig. Maybe that’s a good thing… who wants cinnamon centrifugally sprayed all over the old apron anyway? But I can’t help crave a bit more smoothness in the spin.Assembly underscored a sloppiness of construction. The support poles didn’t screw vertically into one tier nor line up with the holes of the other. Malleability of thin stainless steel made this a non-issue: a nudge here and a tuck there, and everything became symmetric and aligned. So what if it was born lopsided? Is that really worth a full star penalty? I’ll let you decide. (No, wait, I’ll decide: yes.)My ultimate complaint about Susan is more of an existential qualm with Euclidean space and the problem of sphere-packing. See, shelves tend to be rectangular and turntables (the good ones, anyway) tend to be round. So even as the round thing (Susan) organizes other round things (spices) and saves the space they used to occupy, it does so inefficiently, suboptimally. Space is wasted between the round turntable and the rectangular shelf’s corners. Sure, you could store a bottle of poopoo-infused extra virgin and chaste olive oil there, but then you would no longer be able to reach the pevcoo in the back without squeezing past Susan first.Oh, the inconvenience!

upgrade from the plastic lazy susans
I got 3 of these for my cabinet above my stove top (more narrow than standard cabinet). They’re perfect. I put one on each shelf. They’re such an upgrade to the plastic ones. I open that cabinet several times a day and they are so much better to look at 🙂

A little disappointed
I purchased 2 of the two tier stainless steel lazy susans. I didn’t take them out of the box until I was ready to use them which was probably a mistake as a few weeks had gone by before I was able to use them. My husband put the 1st together & I thought how good & sturdy BUT,when he went to assemble the 2nd one , much to my dismay 1 of the screwholes wouldn’t allow the leg to go because it was totally stripped. At $ 25.00 each I was disappointed because he had to improvise with JB Weld so we could use it. Also the distance from the bottom to the top shelf wasn’t as tall as theplastic ones I had been using for years. I would just say beware of the size between the shelves, & assemble them as soon a you get them because you may have to return them & at the time I was finally able to redo my cabinets it was to late to send them back. My spices won’t even fit on the bottom shelves. I would not purchade these again eventhough,they are fairly sturdy.

Good quality, perfect size. Good buy.
