People also ask, how a Lazy Susan works?

A lazy Susan is a turntable (rotating tray) placed on a table or countertop to aid in distributing food. Lazy Susans may be made from a variety of materials but are usually glass, wood, or plastic. They are circular and placed in the center of a table to share dishes easily among diners.

Likewise, how much weight can a lazy susan hold? The Lazy Susan that IKEA offers is plastic and doesn't hold much weight (26 lbs per shelf to be exact). We sprung for this metal Rev-a-Shelf one to help support the weight of our cast iron that we prefer to cook with. (This upgraded one can hold up to 84 lbs per shelf).

Can you install a lazy susan in an existing cabinet?

When homeowners want to add a lazy susan to existing cabinets, it's awkward because the cabinet opening is small and you're either scrunched up on the floor for a base cabinet or standing on a ladder to reach inside a wall cabinet. Alternatively there are lazy susan trays that install on each shelf.
