Where the term, lazy susan, actually came from is somewhat of a mystery, but it is used to describe a small, hand turned platform. Turntables can be described as both hand turned and motorized. Lazy susan turntables have evolved into a whole array of revolving shelves.





These are available in various shapes: the full round, kidney shaped, or the pie cut. You can find them in a variety of materials to suit the needs of all: plastic polymers, wire, and even wood—for those seeking the ultimate chic. People use turntables on their kitchen table to make it easy to reach all the things that might sit in the middle of the table, just out of reach.

 

Buying an assortment of lazy susan turntables gives you so much more creativity in the kitchen. They can be used on counter-tops, in cabinetry and also creatively for display purposes. You can get a turntable as a free-standing unit to be placed on your countertop or one that is integrated into a kitchen cabinet. Either way they are always excellent ideas, and have the answers to many storage dilemmas.

 

If you need to increase your space in the kitchen, you can get lazy susan turntables in two or three-tiered varieties which gives you more vertical space on your counter top. You save valuable time and effort when you have your spices, flavors and food colorings on display and right at your fingertips, not hidden away in a drawer. Do you have a countertop that often gets wet and slippery? There is a turntable designed just for that: the non-slip lazy susan turntable!

 

These appliances are truly a great invention. Lazy susan turntables can be used as organizers. If you do alot of craft work, the partitions separate all your supplies. You can buy a divided tray for your kids knick knacks as well. What better way than a finely decorated, glass or wooden lazy susan to display an assortment of muffins, cake portions, petits fours or even chocolates at a function.
