Gourmet Basics by Mikasa Nova Acacia Wood Rotating Condiment Caddy, 8.75 Inch, Black,5270309

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 !

I bought this to store my many medications on the table where I can see them! And remember to take them!!! It's perfect. And pretty!!. I'm grateful for it!!!

Love it ! Bought stainless steel oil &vinegar & salt & pepper to add to my table caddy

Estético, cómodo y de buena calidad.

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).

Mine was lopsided when i got it but i didn't do anything about it. Now it has got worse over time and is unusable. It could have been a nice product if it were made correctly. Upon looking at it more closely, the welder or inspector should have been fired. Good materials but ruined by very subpar workmanship.

This caddy was perfect for my kitchen. It is attractive and well made.

It’s lovely . Fits very nicely an olive oil & vinegar cruets, along with salt/pepper. Have on my breakfast table.
