Includes instructions. For ages 8+.

Well, who doesn’t, really? And yet most of us confine our swiveling to our local dive. Until now, when you can buy genuine authentic bar-stool swivel plates and make home swiveling a reality. In heavy-duty steel, double 7” square plates are separated by a plethora of steel ball bearings, and have 1/4” mounting holes on the corners.

To test, add oil or grease, stand on and twist and shout like the Beatles.
