This carousel is very pretty! The knob on top has Keurig pressed into it and is all chromed. It turns very easily and holds 36 Kcups. Much, much nicer than my old one that just had two sides and was hard to clean. The base where the stem attaches is all one piece. The turning "mechanism"(?) is underneath. Very nice quality. And I used my reward points to purchase so the savings was huge! Wonderful product. Thanks!
