In this review the TamBee 20 in lazy Susan bearing is evaluated for DIYers and home organizers who need a tough, high-capacity rotating base. The bottom line: it delivers a very sturdy, heavy-load platform that makes it easy to add rotation to cabinets, countertops or custom projects, and its biggest selling point is the solid aluminum construction that supports up to 150kg while remaining straightforward to install.

Key Features

• Smooth rotation: The bearing is designed to spin evenly so tops rotate without catching under normal loads.
• DIY-friendly: Its simple flat design makes it easy to place under a tabletop or cabinet shelf and adapt to many woodworking projects.
• Sturdy construction: Made from aluminum alloy, the plate stands up to heavy loads and resists deformation in regular use.
• Simple setup: The part can be used without fasteners by placing a top on it, or it can be secured with screws for a permanent installation.
• High load capacity: Rated for 150kg / 330 lbs, it suits heavy items such as cookware, appliances or dense stone tops.
• Compact thickness: At 12mm thick, it adds minimal profile while still providing reliable support.

Who It's For

This bearing is a good fit for cabinet makers, kitchen organizers and DIY hobbyists who need a reliable rotating base that can handle heavy loads like stone or packed pantry items. It is particularly useful for custom lazy susan projects, turntables for displays, or any rotating platform where strength and a low profile matter.

Those who need whisper-quiet, precision ball-bearing rotation for very light decorative use or for applications that demand near-frictionless continuous motion may want to compare alternatives; some users report mixed impressions of rotation smoothness and noise depending on load and alignment.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Robust aluminum build provides dependable support for heavy tops and frequent use.
• High load capacity of 150kg / 330 lbs makes it suitable for granite, appliances and dense storage.
• Simple installation options let you either rest a top on it or fix it with screws for security.
• Low profile (12mm) keeps the rotating surface slim and unobtrusive.

Cons

• Rotation smoothness and noise can vary with load and mounting; some users find it less silky than precision bearings.
