A lazy Susan is one of the few organizers that can make a deep cabinet easier to use without forcing you to unload the front row first. But diameter, rim height, and vertical clearance matter more than the word “turntable” on the box.
We chose five designs for different jobs: a simple everyday turntable, a larger model, a two-tier option, a divided option, and a value pick with a strong non-skid design.

1. OXO 11-Inch Not So Lazy Susan — best overall
An 11-inch turntable is a useful middle ground for standard kitchen cabinets. OXO’s model uses a deep ledge and non-slip surfaces to help bottles and jars remain stable while the tray rotates.
Best for: sauces, oils, vitamins, nut butters, spice jars, coffee accessories, and cleaning bottles.
Why we like the design: it does not add unnecessary compartments. That makes it flexible when the mix of products changes.
Measure first: trace an 11-inch circle on paper or cardboard and place it on the shelf. Make sure the cabinet face frame and hinges do not block the rotation.
2. OXO 16-Inch Not So Lazy Susan — best large turntable
OXO also makes a 16-inch version for deeper shelves and larger pantry surfaces. The larger diameter can reduce the number of items hidden behind one another, but it only helps if the shelf is genuinely deep enough.
Best for: large pantry shelves, corner zones, big condiment collections, and broad refrigerator shelves.
Avoid it when: the turntable would consume the entire shelf depth and make the corners unusable. Bigger is not automatically better in a small cabinet.
3. YouCopia Crazy Susan Two-Tier Turntable — best for vertical space
The Crazy Susan Two-Tier adds a second rotating level and lets you set about 5, 6, or 7 inches of clearance between the tiers. YouCopia lists an 11-inch base and 360-degree rotation on stainless-steel ball bearings.
Best for: short jars, spices, supplements, small canned goods, and cabinets where there is a lot of unused height above a normal turntable.
Why it stands out: it converts both depth and height into accessible storage.
Know before buying: the product can be sold out directly from YouCopia at times, so verify current retailer availability. Also measure the tallest item intended for the lower tier before choosing a clearance level.
4. YouCopia Crazy Susan with 3 Bins — best for loose packets
A standard turntable is great for bottles but less helpful for flexible packets that flop over. YouCopia’s three-bin version adds removable handled compartments to the rotating base. The unit is about 10.4 inches square and 4.1 inches high.
Best for: snack packets, drink mixes, medicine, seasoning pouches, small baking items, and other loose categories.
Why it stands out: each bin can lift off the turntable, so you can bring an entire category to the counter instead of picking items out one by one.
Know before buying: direct availability varies. The design is still worth considering when offered through current retailers.
5. Copco 12-Inch Non-Skid Lazy Susan — best value / non-skid option
Copco’s long-running 12-inch non-skid turntables are simple and widely used. Current Copco catalog information emphasizes a non-skid surface, rimmed edge, and smooth rotation for cabinets and pantries.
Best for: an affordable first turntable, heavier jars, or anyone who values a grippy surface over modular accessories.
Why it made the list: a turntable does not need to be complicated to solve the core problem. A stable 12-inch platform can be enough for many pantry shelves.
Single-tier or two-tier?
Choose single-tier when you store tall bottles or want maximum flexibility. Choose two-tier when the majority of items are short and your cabinet has unused height.
For small kitchens, we generally prefer starting with a single-tier unit. It is easier to repurpose in a pantry, fridge, bathroom, or under-sink cabinet if your layout changes.
How we selected these products
Tidy Little Home has not hands-on tested every item. We compared current manufacturer details, dimensions, stability features, useful diameter ranges, and whether each design solves a different access problem. We also favor products that remain useful if the contents of the cabinet change.
