Don’t be shocked by the title of this post. Apparently the device which sits on top of the dining table and aids in the serving on food due to its revolving nature is called “Lazy Susan”. We came across this product in the recent exhibition - Interiors and Exteriors.

The product is made of wood, glass and metal and offers dual shades for the surface under the glass. The picture shown above has a brown wooden surface. The same can be turned over to get a black finish. You could choose the color which matches your dining table. The product had a good weight balance which means that the  glass will not tip over if you place heavy items on on side. 

The weight bearing capacity of this device depends on the size of the product. There were various offerings. 18″, 21″, 24″ and 30″ diameter sizes were available. Prices started at around Rs. 800/- and went on till Rs. 2000/- for the largest size. These are approximate prices for estimation purposes only.

The product comes from a company called “Berg”.

The main purpose of this device is to facilitate serving across the table. Members can share common food items placed on this revolving tray like jam, pickle, salt, pepper, light dishes, sweets and so on. It makes the task of serving food very easy and convenient.
