Jill Ron Pike on Jan 15, 2015There are great spray paints for plastic in a big selection of colors...if you want to display things on it, paint to match room decor, special occasions, etc. If you want to use it inside a cabinet, no need to change it. Good for spices, canned goods, anything like that. The above ideas are also good ones. I had one that I took off the support rods and top, and used the bottom for a cake decorating turntable. (much less expensive than the Wilton's turntable). The support rods and top then became the display for a cake topper. Or, you could leave it together, put the cake on top, and some decorations on the bottom.Helpful Reply

Ruth Guenzler on Jan 15, 2015If you want it to be seen first paint it. Then it could be used on a buffet table for cookies, I love these for storage for paint in the craft room, when working on a project especially painting they're great to hold the item then you don't get as much paint on your fingers turning the item. You could use them in places where you have plants that you often have to turn because they bend toward the light. It could be used in the garage for storage of small tools. And if nothing else they are great fun for children to put their small cars or animals on and give it a spin. Love these things!Helpful Reply

Orchidmg on Jan 15, 2015If you have no need to use it for spices or condiments in the kitchen, you could decorate it with Washi tape and put with your crafts to hold things. Or on a night stand with a plant on top and the bottom shelf is for hand lotions, chapstick, nail file, etc. Or get small containers and organize your jewelry on it for a vanity.Helpful Reply

Ashley Mann on Jan 15, 2015You could buy a pretty plate and glue it to the top after spray-painting the lazy Susan a matching color. If it comes apart, you could buy 2 plates made from a material that you could drill holes through and cover the bottom level as well...maybe a slightly bigger plate on the bottom.Helpful Reply

Rosalie chow on Jan 16, 2015If I have known that people like them, I would have kept them and gave them to you. I do a lot of arts and crafts. I do use recycled thing for a lot of my arts and crafts.The reason for not keeping these lazy Susan, it was so greasy and I tried to wash them, but I can still feel the greasy. Now I don't cook fried food anymore.Helpful Reply

Mary Tonningsen on Jan 19, 2015I put it on the table by the area where I prep the dog's and cat's food - I store their various medications on it (I foster old & sick dogs, so there are always lots of meds!) It helps to keep things handy and easy to remember to dispense them with the food.Helpful Reply

Linda Fraser on Jan 26, 2015If you use only the bottom part that spins you can put in on the top shelf inside of your frig to put small jar stuff like pickles jellys etc. Then instead of taking items out to get to a back item just spin to the front.Helpful Reply
