Perfect
After reading the many negative reviews, I was hesitant. But, my guess is the round version is the one with the stability problems, from the customer photos. In any case, I bought the rectangular version, and it does the job perfectly. The dozen or so small jars of hot sauces my son is currently sampling fit perfectly on this caddy, and there is room for the standard salt and pepper shakers too, with room to spare. The wood "floor" of the caddy (on which the jars are set) is attractive, and the lazy Susan base spins perfectly.And it is stable !

Holds my kitchen cleansers
I use this to hold cleansers I use in the kitchen. Five 16 oz Boston Round (or similarly sized) bottles fit perfectly. Sure, it wobbles a bit, but it's likely because the swivel plate sits a little high off the counter. Once the weight of the items on it is balanced, the wobbling is not a huge problem. I've had it almost two years. Overall I've been pleased with it.

Nice product, pathetic shipment/packing procedure
My comment re this product is simple: It's great and well worth the money.BUT BEWARE! The Amazon fulfillment warehouse did a pathetic job of preparing this for shipment. The product obviously comes in a box of its own and that box is very thinly constructed. The warehouse personnel must have thought it would be sufficient to put one piece of tape on the top cover, attach the shipping label, and OUT THE DOOR IT WENT! It arrived slightly beaten up but, THANKFULLY and AMAZINGLY, the product in side was unscathed.Maybe it's just me but I would have thought they would have placed it in a regular shipment box...apparently I have no idea what I am talking about.

This can be fixed! My solution - add a base
I read the reviews and looked at other customers photos. No doubt there is a lack of quality control on this product and in addition, there is a fundamental flaw in the design - the base is too narrow - which for some has caused the whole thing to be tippy when loaded up with bottles.I liked the idea of a rotating caddy to keep sauces, salt and pepper always within easy reach for my elderly mother who frequently complains about the food where she is living now. After reading the worrying negative reviews, I went looking for another rotating caddy and, finding none, decided I would roll the dice and hope to get a good one of these.The one I got was well painted and the bearings turned just fine. It wobbles a bit out of true vertical as it turns but nothing that would make it unsightly / crooked when stopped.However, it's obvious that the base is too narrow and that if my mother were to pull it towards her across the table, it could fall over with bottles going everywhere.I went to a local welder and asked him to cut me a 7 1/4" circle of sheet steel. I brought that home, cleaned it off with acetone and then sprayed it with Rustoleum Universal paint and primer in one - color metallic oil rubbed bronze. Then I took it and the rotating caddy back to the welding shop and had him spot weld it together in four places. The biggest pain was then getting paper and painter's tape to cover the caddy so I could then spray over the welds and touch up where the paint on my base had been damaged by the welding heat. (See attached pics). I left a hole in my green tape so I could rotate the base and spray through the hole to get at the silver colored welds. I spray painted outdoors using a paper bag to catch the overspray.It came out great. No chance at all of this thing falling over now as the 7 1/4" diameter base is just a bit narrower than the whole unit. I should not have had to do all this - the manufacturer should have adjusted the design and be selling them already built this way. But, until they get it right, this is at least one way to make the existing model work for you. If you decide to do this - be sure to paint the base before welding so you only have to touch up once it is attached to the caddy. Spray painting the entire top of the base through the caddy basket would be a mess. (Attached pictures are of the finished piece with the new base and of the touch up painting / masking).

Useful AND Esthetic
Bought it to gather all of our usual tabletop items (salt, pepper shakers, napkin holder, small flower vase). Its portability has eased our cleaning routine and has helped keeping things away from out toddler. The size is perfect for our table of 4 and everyone can access everything with ease as it spins.

Unusable. I’m so disappointed!
I am so disappointed! The product is attractive, I love the wood feature, but the quality of the metal is extremely poor. It is misshapen and the base/turntable feature is so loose and uneven that it wobbles severely when turning and almost tips over when an item is placed into the caddy. It is basically unusable, which is highly disappointing because it is so pretty looking! It is apparent by the poor condition of the box that this item has been returned to the seller before, and after reading all over the other similar/poor reviews, I won’t try to order another one in hopes that it is in better condition.Please improve the quality and functionality of this product, because it is beautiful! I’ve ordered some of the other matching kitchen accessories and I’m just so disappointed that this one is so unusable.

Looks great but arrived without the bolt
I want to give this 5 stars but it arrived without the bolt and it’s proved quite difficult to find one the right size and the bolt is essential. Otherwise it’s great

Worth Every Penny.
Excellent quality piece! The wooden bottom comes out for cleaning, and is beautifully finished. There are no sharp edges anywhere. All of the metal is fully coated and sealed. The lazy Susan spins smoothly. This caddy is built to last. Very happy!

Dissatisfied
That’s really upset when I opened the box. The wood part is tippy and imbalanced . The metal parts are deformed. Couldn’t believe it. Totally disappointed. So I returned and get my money back.
