Review on 14 Inch Aluminum Lazy Susan Turntable Bearing Swivel Plate Rotating Mechanism Hardware Kit Base Only by Troy Early

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Nice but not w/o problems

It's OK however: The unit is very nicely made, no sharp edges, etc. The main problem is it's very hard to turn. Hopefully it will loosen up a bit. We put a few drops of oil in the bearing raceway to see if that helped - no. Saw a metric allen set screw on the side; tried to loosen it in case that was the key. Nope - could't get it loose, very tight. Also the feet allow it to slide around on a bare table. They need to be of a soft material which will "stick" to a smooth surface. Solution was to put the unit on a round rattan placemat. That works but isn't a proper solution. Tried to find T&B Inc for a recommendation but they appear to be invisible.Would I recommend it? Yes, if you can cope with the above.

Pros
  • Kid-friendly design for added safety
Cons
  • May not be appropriate for intimate dining settings
