Dowell 18" Round Lazy Susan, 2 Shelves, Kitchen Wall Corner Cabinet Organizer (Chrome 4001 360D)

We purchased this lazy susan to replace a plastic unit which came with our home.This double shelved lazy susan is well made. The chrome finish is very attractive. It is also extremely sturdy and I love that I can see every one of my spices and kitchen products because of the wire type construction. I am far more organized using this Lazy Susan than the previous plastic one.I love that the shelves are adjustable so you can place heavier items on the floor of the cabinet such as canned foods so the majority of the wait isn't on the Lazy Susan shelves.It doesn't hold as much as my plastic lazy susan, but because we can use cabinet floor space, I actually have more storage space than my previous lazy susan.My only critique is the center spindle which holds the Lazy Susan shelves. The center post is the most important part of construction and should be made of heavier and more substantial metal. The reason I mention this is because if you think you're going to put a few heavy items on the Lazy Susan such as a couple of canned soups, it starts to rock. My plastic Lazy Susan did not rock like this. To ensure it wouldn't rock, we weighed the contents of our kitchen items that we have on our Lazy Susan and in total we only have 8 lbs on the top shelf and 12 lbs on the bottom shelf. 85% to 90% of the contents on our Lazy Susan are lightweight dried spices and herbs. If you spin it quickly it does start to wobble a bit. We ensured that any heavier items are distributed towards the center of the spindle which helps reduce the wobbly situation.Overall this is definitely a five-star product for under $100. I'm extremely happy with it and now that we know how to evenly distribute the weight, we have sorted out the majority of the wobbliness.

Easy to install, good quality

First, let me just say that my 5 star review cannot possibly improve upon the other 5 star reviews in regards to the quality, value, and utility that this offers. Go read those. This is absolutely worth the price. The key distinguishing feature here over the plastic alternatives is the high basket lip, which allows you to pretty aggressively spin this without stuff flying off. And as others have noted, it is incredibly durable particularly considering how lightweight it is.I would like to add that there are criticisms about the instructions. I did not have this problem, as I did not have instructions with my shipment. However, it's pretty easy:1. The larger tube is the base; the smaller tube is the riser.2. There are metal pins that come in the hardware packet. These go through the holes in the tubes, and the plastic rings sit on top of them to provide support to the baskets. There is a small set screw whose job is to fit into the groove of the plastic hub on the basket. Do not tighten this against the basket hub; only tighten it until the screw fits inside of the groove so that the basket cannot be lifted up.3. The plastic hubs have a threaded collar. You tighten this to adjust the tension on the basket. You can make it really tight if you don't want the basket to spin freely (eg you have to keep pushing the basket to move it), or leave it loose so you can spin the baskets while shouting "wheee!".4. To install, put the larger tube inside your cabinet and at least one basket set on the tube. Locate it so that the basket can spin freely without interference. While in that position, use a sharpie to mark the location of the screw holes around the base. Then remove the assembly. Predrill the holes you marked. Now assemble the top and bottom (large and small) tubes, place it inside the cabinet, and drive your screws in to hold the bottom portion in place. Now push the top tube up to the underside of the cabinet, and mark the holes for the screws to hold that in place. (Note: you should in theory have a piece of wood across the bottom of your countertop. If not, do not attempt to drill into your countertop. Instead, go purchase a piece of plywood, cut it to the width of your cabinet, and secure to the bottom underside of your countertop with a very strong adhesive.) Now that you have all your pilot holes drilled, assemble the entire thing inside the cabinet, put the screws into the based and top to secure in, install the pins to set the basket height, tighten the set screws to lock the baskets into the hubs, and tighten the locking collars to the desired tension.Note that the key here is that you have to assemble it inside the cabinet. I recommend you do a practice assembly outside of the cabinet first, as it will be much less frustrating when you're not on your knees and crammed sideways into a small cabinet door.

This is not the first time i've replaced the large corner cabinet lazy susan in a kitchen, but i will say this was definitely one of the easiest to install. All in all it is sturdy, clean and a little tricky, but easy, to install. If you want to read my install saga, keep going, if not, my review is positive and I would buy it again anytime. If you think you might need some tips for doing this yourselves (folks who don't think of themselves as particularly handy) then keep reading LOLAll you will need is a drill, a phillips head bit, and an extension for the bit. The directions were okay, but i found that once i got the racks together, the rest of the directions didn't help much, but it was fairly intuitive. I don't know about other folks cabinets, but i found that once the door was off, it was easiest to assemble the entire rack, including the top pole and flange, and insert it into the cabinet. First though, i tossed the measurement directions that came with the kit and found it was easier to place one of the racks onto the bottom pole, put it into the cabinet to see how much room i actually had. then decided where i wanted it to go and how much clearance i wanted all the way around. I measured from the 45 degree corner in the front, marked with a pencil where the flange was, drew a circle around it, then pulled it out. i put everything together, hand tightened it down and then put it back in the cabinet. Be patient, it's like playing janga! there IS a way it will fit in, you just might not find it the first go round LOL OH! And make sure you put the top pole in becasue you can't fit it in later... or at least I couldn't! The whole thing will be tippy, so steady it best you can, (this is where an extra hand might have helped) and put the bit with the extension on the drill, as you'll need to go thru the wires to get the screws in, and then screw in the bottom screws. Then straighten the thing up a bit, as it will lean a little, and screw in the upper screws. VOILA! You are about to feel incredibly accomplished! And you should be! Now, we'll tackle those double door hinges next!

Work good
