A rotating tray, often referred to as a Lazy Susan, is a circular platform designed to rotate 360 degrees on a central axis or set of bearings. These trays are primarily used to make items easily accessible from any side of a table or cabinet.

Key Features and Design

• 360-Degree Rotation: Built on a swivel base (usually containing ball bearings) that allows the top surface to spin smoothly in either direction.

• Accessibility: Eliminates the need to reach across a table or move multiple items to get to something in the back; a simple spin brings the desired item to the front.

• Materials: Commonly manufactured from wood, glass, plastic, stainless steel, or marble to match various kitchen and dining decors.

• Raised Edges: Many models feature a "lip" or raised rim to prevent items from sliding off due to centrifugal force or tilting during rotation.
