Shepherd Hardware 9549 12-Inch Lazy Susan, 1000-Lb Load Capacity, Metal

I got this for a Blu ray rotating tower I purchased, it supports the weight very well and turns easily. It's a 63 inch tall tower so there's a lot of weight on it, but it performs like a pro!!!!

Used this to make a storage unit for hardware that spins. Hardware probably weighed between 150-200 pounds, My unit worked smooth right out of the package. I probably should have lubricated tbe ball bearings, but it worked fine without lube. Perhaps a little noisy, which probably could have been reduced with some grease, but didn't really matter for my application. I was concerned about the bad reviews that it didn't spin, or the ball bearings fell out. Looking at how it is constructed,, it is held together with a lip around the outside perimeter that is formed from the steel. I could easily see that being a problem if the lip is compressed too much, it wouldn't spin, or not enough the ball bearings would fall out. Mine was perfect though. I suspect that the people who had problems could adjust the lip a bit to solve their problem if they had some basic mechanics or metalworking skills. I would agree that things should work properly as supplied, But if you want to save money, sometimes you have to take a chance and be willing to put up with a little aggravation. But it looks like I was in the majority of people who didn't seem to have a problem!

Bought these to refurbish bar stools that were near death. The design and construction of the original turntable mechanisms in the barstools were quite different compared to these new ones. The originals were made of much heavier gauge steel, taller, with bigger ball bearings, but which had used rubber gaskets that had disintegrated due to age. I decided to use these new turntables to rebuild the barstools instead of buying new replacement barstools, a huge savings if successful. I also bought vinyl coverings here at Amazon to re-upholster the worn seat coverings. The project took quite a bit of work, I'd say it was an intermediate to moderately difficult DIY project. The most difficult parts of the project were (1) the re-upholstering and (2) centering one of the two faces of the turntables onto the bottom of the re-upholstered seats and the other onto the wood stool's support structure. I also decided to re-upholster over the original old, worn covering rather than removing it, as that would entail too much difficult work of removing the numerous old staples and perhaps unraveling all the old cushioning materials within the seats. Along with the much thinner construction of these new turntables, this required more clearance between the re-upholstered, revolving seat and the bottom structure of the stool, so I had to prepare square pieces of plywood to add the necessary clearance. The new turntables were rated at up to 500-lb capacity - a bit hard to believe, but, since most adults weigh under 200 lbs anyway, I anticipate the rebuilt barstools should last at least as long as the originals (11 years). All in all, the finished project was well worth the work and effort, especially since I spent less than $60 to rebuild four revolving barstools, which, if replaced new, would have cost any where from $500 to $800 or more.

This is the second I have bought.

Heavy duty and very easy to install. works well.

Maybe I was expecting too much given the really low price. There's no way this thing is rated for hundreds of pounds. I bought it to attach to 2 scrap squares of wood to make it easier to paint smaller items. Just with the 15x15" pieces of wood attached, it's pretty wobbly. There's too much play between the top and bottom halves/bearings. While it does spin okay, it's not "silky smooth" by any means. It'll work if you center an item and don't really put any pressure out on one corner at a time, but I can definitely see myself spending more money on a higher quality one at some point. Spraying an object? Probably fine. Sanding a project? Not so much. Definitely a case of "get what you pay for" here.

go with metal instead of plastic for a lasting lazy Susan

It's nice to find hardware that's made well and works well. My husband makes wooden lazy susan's for my upper kitchen cabinet shelves so that I can reach items better. These work well!

Hice un mueble para peliculas rotatorio cuyo peso ronda los 80 kilos No tiene ningun problema en soportar esa carga y se desliza muy suave y facilmente casi sin ruido La calidad de los materiales se nota y hay muchos tutoriales en internet de como instalarlo asi que es muy sencillo Sin duda volveria a comprarlo para utilizarlo en mas proyectos

Its perfect for what I needed

Awesome 🐎🐎🐎🐎

Simple robust shallow well designed, excellent. Have ordered another to carry heavy sculpture so it can rotate :)

all good
