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

I wanted to build a large Lazy Susan for my table for gaming nights (board games/card games often required you to read text and it's very annoying to have the cards upside-down or side-ways to some of the players who sit around the table). After looking at buying a pre-built one, I figured I'd save a few dollars, build my own, and have it just the way I wanted. This bearing seems to be overkill for such a task, but I liked the overall size of 12", so I went with it it. I got it in, unpackaged it. A downside is no screws provided. I glanced at the directions, but it wasn't hard to figure out for yourself. I went to the local hardware store and bought a 23.75" round wooden platform. I brought it home, found center, drew a 12" circle, and threw this on. I Found 4x screws I had laying around and attached through the provided hole on the bottom of the bearing. I turned it over and invited over my friends. Despite having no bottom and it simply sat on the bearing for the table, the near 24" slab of wood took a lot of force to tip over. It rolled pretty smooth the whole night. Looking down in it, it seems there is a light coating of grease included on the bearings, though just a touch noisy. Ultimately, I think I will make a dedicated table with a revolving center using this bearing as I have good faith that this thing is solid and will last a long time.

I bought this to use for sculpting. I have a mannequin head that fits perfectly on here. I drilled it into boards and the sculpture now turns for easy accessibility. There has not been any weight issues and it seems really strong. The clay that I put on the sculpture is very heavy and the lazy susan is holding strong. The spinner is at a great size for twelve inches and it can serve alot of uses. The price is great too. More expensive at home depot. While I have not been using this for long, its really strong that I think it will hold up for many years to come. I recommend this to any one who needs it, its a really great buy.

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.

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!!!!

We just got a new kitchen countertop and had them give us an 18" round piece of stone (from the sink cutout) so we could make a portable lazy susan for serving at parties. This turntable was EXACTLY what we needed to make it work smooth as silk. It is very, very thin, so it adds very little height beneath the disk. It is completely silent and smooth as it rotates. I was a little nervous getting it because I figured that with a price this low, it couldn't be very good. Boy was I wrong - it's actually extremely good quality material and workmanship, and a very good overall design. I couldn't be happier! We decided to just leave the lazy susan in the middle of our kitchen table - it's a lot of fun to "pass the ketchup" with just a quick swipe of one finger! :-)

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.

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!

go with metal instead of plastic for a lasting lazy Susan

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

Does the job perfectly

Awesome 🐎🐎🐎🐎
