Susan finally stopped being lazy, and got a move on! Would you welcome this elegant sliding server to your dinner table?
Doreen
What a great idea for large meals. I love it!
Amy
This makes the best unique gift for a wedding or shower. The colors are rich and it is functional.

I love this - even for a stand-up 'grazing' food event, it allows the food item to be moved to the other end of the table easily. In addition to being pretty, it's FUN to use!!
Carol

Great item, every home should have one. Can be used for a formal dinner or an everyday meal.
Emily
I love my gliding susan!! So fun to use for soup night and taco night!! My kids love it when we use it for ice cream sundaes. We put all the toppings on it and glide it down the table to each person!

I guess I don't really understand the point of not just passing dishes. It seems like just another thing to make people even lazier.

Finally a Lazy Susan for a rectangular table. I love it!

I already have a never-ending fight to keep clutter off my table. This looks like it would be annoying to store, if you DID want it off your table. I think passing dishes, condiments, etc, is simpler.

A gadget nobody needs.

On first glance seems like a great idea ... but where and how would you store this when not needed or in the way? It's pretty ...Maybe an unique wall hanging? IDK. ha ha

Love the idea-perfet for my long table-however, I don't particularly like the styling. I'm not much of a 'red' person.

Outstanding idea! Mess-free way to get items from one end of table to other.

Thanks for all of your votes and comments! It sounds like storing the Gliding Susan is a concern, so space-conscious voters will be pleased to know that the table server actually comes apart for easier storage. The tray is removable and the long portion separates into two pieces.

What's wrong with good old fashioned family style dinner where family members interact with one another and pass dishes around the table? Come on!
Alyson
Vote: Thumbs down!
I guess I don't understand why you don't pass dishes. And it seems like this would take up a lot of space in the middle of the table.
Leslie

Brilliant!

Please make this! My parents love wood items and this is very unique. I agree if there could be different colors (red, orange, blue, black, white) to choose from this would be very popular.

Love the design of this. I think this is unique and should be a big seller!

I thought this was cool at first glance. But really, I have nowhere to store this even if it does breaks down. Then I thought, This takes up a lot of table space for one dish! I'd rather pass the food and condiments, and I'd pass on this, too!
Tara
It's neat and beautiful, but would dominate the table. You'd not likely be able to have anything else on a "normal" sized table.

Being the one in the middle and having to pass everything this is a GREAT idea.

Marcy

I think it is a fun idea for those who might want one. I probably would not buy it because it looks like it takes up way too much space on the table.

A beautiful piece of functional art. I love it!

This is an exquisite piece of artwork. Somehow I am getting images of those scenes in old movies where the salt and pepper shakers move about the banquet table by electric train!
Dawn

As I've gotten older and downsized, I cannot see where I would use it every day, and therefore I would not want to have to store it.

My husband has been wanting a lazy suzan for years but we have a long rectangular table and a traditional round one would be useless. THIS is what we've been looking for! Will help with heavy or hot items that are difficult to pass, especially for kids. This looks has a sculptural appeal as well. I want it NOW!

How easy is it to move on the slider?

I like this very much, and would definitely buy, assuming the price was reasonable.
Kathleen

Really, we are now unable to pass a dish to someone? I love Pittsburgh but they can do better than this.
Kelly
Vote: Thumbs up!
Not sure if I'd buy it because I can simply hand the bowls down the table...but it would be an interesting conversation piece and kinda fun at get togethers. If the price were right I'd consider it. It is "uncommon" so I like it.

Not my choice of color palette, maybe in another set of color choices.
Emerson

seems impractical as you would have to hold dish as you slide, so why not just pass; takes up way too much room for dealing with one dish; might scratch table

What a good idea! Would work better on rectangular tables.

It is both elegant and practical. We love it for entertaining... and it makes a great and instant salad bar for a quick family dinner option after a tough day at work.
