Giving this 5 stars because it works well as described, good value and assembles in a snap. I'm writing a review because I was disappointed about the size. I have purchased Copco turntables before in the same size (12") and they fit my cabinet PERFECTLY - right to the edge, maximizing every inch. This model, however, has a very small lip around the edge that makes it 1/4 inch too deep and my cabinet doors won't close all the way. I ended up using in my pantry for cans and they worked well there - where a little hangover is OK. Ultimately I'll be happy with the purchase, but will need to find something different for my spice cabinet. I attached a picture to show 1) the new turntable with lip 2) my old Copco turntable with smooth edge and 3) my installation in my pantry, which worked nicely. (excuse the mess in the pictures!)
Even loaded with 8 vegetable & fruit cans & 1 extra large can (20-29oz) in the center on each level (over 16lb total), this sturdy lazy susan performed extremely well, moving smoothly & staying in place. Easily assembled, no tools. I had ordered the Rubbermaid FG1A7109 Twin Turntable, No Skid- https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0046EDHVK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 -at the same time, which was prettier in the picture and only $2 more. The Rubbermaid lazy susan is flimsy, wobbly and unstable. It is not heavy enough and slips on the counter when it turns & it fell apart every time I picked it up to move it, & I DID assemble it correctly. Disappointing for a Rubbermaid product., especially since I hadn't even put anything on it yet. Really only suitable for spices, I suppose, but I wouldn't do it.. Was very impressed with Amazon's return of it though, just a coupla clicks and my card was reimbursed with a message telling me NOT to bother returning it. Full disclosure, I have NO affiliation with Copco but I immediately ordered another Copco 2-tier turntable & will be looking at their other products as well. Glad I made the comparison.
I am reorganizing my walk-in pantry to better utilize the deep shelves. I bought 3 of these and am so thrilled I just ordered a fourth! Each level holds 12 soup cans, but, as my pics show, many other items can be organized as well.
I bought the 2-tier which I'm using for storing medicine and it is great.
I also bought the single tier one. Although it stays in place when turning, it doesn't spin smoothly, and is noisier than I anticipated, but I think that may be due to the heavier bottles I have on it and not just lightweight spices.
Both are a good addition to my cupboards though they don't feel like the best quality, so not sure how long they will last.
I bought these to display all of our Amiibos and other video game characters. The only downside is both tiers move together but it's not a big deal. I would buy again for other uses.

Assembled product dimensions (L x W x H): 12 x 12 x 7.5 inches
Haven't packed anything down on the turntable yet to see how sturdy it actually is; however, I pulled it out of packaging to inspect it. Briefly set it up and put it on the kitchen table and spun it around. Spins nicely. No lagging. I also love the look of it. Got it to use for when I move since I should have more counter space. Very happy with it!
UPDATE 12/5/2017:
Have it sitting on my kitchen counter as a 2 tier spice rack. Absolutely love it!!! Hasn't broken. Lots of spices on both tiers. Heavy canisters. Spins nicely, no lag.
This was SO easy to assemble; it took about 30 seconds and didn't require that I read any instructions. That is much easier than the metal/stainless steel ones, which require (in addition to inserting the vertical pieces that hold the top circular piece, which all require, as far as I know) that you remove three screws and then screw in three screws.
It also feels A LOT more sturdy than the metal versions that I ordered and received at the same time as this. It's a little wider than the metal ones, too, I think.
But make sure you measure your cabinets - the doors in my kitchen cabinets would not close (my cabinet maker must have cut corners and made less-than-standard depth cabinets in there). This will fit in my bathroom cabinets, though.
I previously used a so-called "Stainless Steel" turntable for my spices. Well, it didn't turn easily for long and I had to keep tightening the screws in the posts between the bottom and top. And it certainly wasn't stainless. It rusted and stained within a few months.
I bought this little gem a few months ago and it's still spinning. Not a stain on it that a couple of wipes with a wet cloth won't fix and I keep it on the counter next to my stove which is so convenient. Each tier has a rubber surface that keeps spices anchored when you turn it. It easily assembled in about 30 seconds which was a plus. I currently have 26 spice containers on it - taller ones on top (including a heavy 9" x 2" ceramic peppermill) and shorter ones on bottom. I actually bought 4 of these and use the others in the pantry and under the bathroom sink.
I doubt the 12 inch will fit in your standard kitchen cabinet and I haven't found a 10 inch made by this vendor. But I scrubbed up my old "stainless steel" 10 inch, put a touch of oil on the spinner and now use that in my cabinet for meds. That's what I call a win-win situation.
If Copco ever starts making a 10" I will buy a few of those as well. This is a well made product.
Update: received my order on a Friday and was missing the 3 legs. Can’t be 2 tiered with no legs. I submitted feedback to Amazon and two days later, on Sunday no doubt, received a complete package. Took about 5 minutes to assemble. Seems much sturdier and larger diameter than what I’ve had before. The textured rubbery coating seems to keep the spices from slipping around.
I’m pleased and would buy another. For the price, you can’t go wrong.
I use it (them, since I have five of them now) to hold vitamin/supplement bottles at two locations. They spin smoothly and have no trouble at all holding my supplements. With so many supplements, I needed something that would make them all easily accessible. This fulfills that requirement.
