Why the Lazy Susan is the perfect table addition
Lazy Susan turntables are trays that swivel to share food among a table with ease. While very common in fine Chinese restaurants, a lazy susan is also great for everyday use when sharing various dishes at the table while eating with family or friends. Another common use of the lazy susan is storing items in cupboards and pantries to maximise your storage space.
