It sits in the middle of our 54" table.  We love it....the way it is so close to the table, turns with ease (the noise others have mentioned is barely audible to us) and looks beautiful both either our granite island or on the wood table.  Other reviews have mentioned fingerprints and although adults can avoid this by spinning it from the edge, it was hard to get our young grandchildren to not spin it from the top.  TIP:  I had already ordered an extra thick leather-look fitted elastic, flannel-backed table cover from HAPPY ACCENTS.  The cover is very soft and a great way to avoid scratches (and fingerprints from the little ones.)  I wondered if they would cut one down to make it fit this lazy susan.  What they did was cut the smallest size to a up to 28" size and it fits this tray perfectly without dragging on the table cloth. The cover is soft and very nice looking, so now I have 2 looks for this tray!
