How big should a Lazy Susan be for a table?

Answered by Roy Gibson

When it comes to choosing the right size Lazy Susan for your table, there are a few factors to consider. The size of your table and the number of people you typically have at your table are the most important considerations. You want to make sure that the Lazy Susan is large enough to hold all of your dishes and condiments, but not so large that it takes up too much space or becomes difficult to spin.

First, measure the diameter of your table. This will give you an idea of the maximum size Lazy Susan that will fit comfortably on your table. Generally, a Lazy Susan that is slightly smaller than the diameter of your table works well. For example, if your table is 36 inches in diameter, a Lazy Susan that is around 30 inches in diameter would be a good fit.

Next, consider the number of people you typically have at your table. If you frequently entertain large groups or have a large family, you may want to opt for a larger Lazy Susan to accommodate more dishes. On the other hand, if you typically only have a few people at your table, a smaller Lazy Susan may be sufficient.

In addition to size, consider the height of the Lazy Susan. You want to make sure that it is tall enough to easily spin and access all of the items on it. A height of around 2-3 inches is generally a good range.

When selecting a Lazy Susan, consider the materials and design as well. There are a variety of options available, from wood to bamboo to plastic. Choose a material that matches your table and personal style. Some Lazy Susans also come with dividers or compartments, which can be useful for organizing different types of condiments or dishes.

Ultimately, the size of the Lazy Susan you choose will depend on your personal preferences, the size of your table, and the number of people you typically have at your table. It’s always a good idea to measure your table and consider your specific needs before making a purchase.

To summarize, the size of the Lazy Susan for your table should be slightly smaller than the diameter of your table, taking into consideration the number of people you typically have at your table. The height should be around 2-3 inches for easy access. Consider the materials and design that match your table and personal style.
