Who is this Susan, and why was she so lazy? The origins of both the product and the name are both shrouded in mystery – there are a few stories afloat, but none have ever really been verified. Nevertheless, we’re mostly used to Lazy Susans rotating our condiments, but I found a much, much better version of the old classic: a Lazy Susan for shoes! My shoes really take up a lot of space in my cupboard, so I have to say, I am absolutely delighted with this project.
