Nuni Marble Lazy Susan - Beige

Our Nuni lazy Susan is a single round slab of 100% marble, 36cm across and 5cm tall, set on a smaller round base so the whole top turns under your hand. The stone is beige, with soft, irregular veining running across it on the diagonal. Marble is a natural stone, so the pattern differs from piece to piece and yours will carry its own markings. At 5.5KG it is a substantial piece of stone rather than a lightweight tray, which means it sits steady on the table while it turns.

A lazy Susan earns its place in the middle of a shared table, where everyone can turn the food towards themselves instead of passing plates back and forth. The maker states it is suitable for food, so it can carry cheese, fruit, bread, tapas or a whole cake, and at 36cm across there is room for a generous spread. Use it on the dining table for a family supper, on a kitchen island when friends come round, or on the counter as a turning home for oils, salt and pepper. Marble stays cool to the touch, which suits cheese and butter on a warm evening.

The top is one solid piece of marble with a flat surface and a straight edge, resting on a smaller round base set back from the rim, so the stone appears to float clear of the table. It does not go in the dishwasher, the microwave or the oven, so clean it by hand. Like any marble, it can mark from acidic foods such as lemon, wine or vinegar, so it pays to wipe spills away promptly. Between meals, leave it in the centre of the table with a jug or a bowl of fruit on it, then clear it and load it up when everyone sits down; the beige stone sits easily against wooden and painted tables.

What is the lazy Susan made of?

It is made of 100% marble. Marble is a natural stone, so the veining on yours will differ a little from piece to piece.

How big is it?

It is 36cm across and 5cm tall, which gives room for a whole cake, a cheese spread or several small dishes at once.

Can I put food straight onto the marble?

Yes. The maker states it is suitable for food, so cheese, fruit, bread or a cake can go directly onto the marble top.

Can it go in the dishwasher?

No. It does not go in the dishwasher, the microwave or the oven, so it is a piece to clean by hand.

How heavy is it?

It weighs 5.5KG, so it feels solid and stays put on the table, though you will want two hands to move it once it is loaded.

Does the top turn?

Yes. As a lazy Susan, the marble top turns on its smaller round base, so everyone round the table can reach what they need.
