2Pack 8Inch Heavy Duty Bar Stool Swivel Plate, Chair Base With Solid Ring of Ball Bearings, 500lbs Capacity Replacement Seat Parts, Lazy Susan Hardware for Barstools Recliner Chair Boat

I needed a swivel base that stay together in a non-conventional use. I have 2, mounted on my garage ceiling. Each has a fan weighing 6-8 pounds hanging beneath it which means the "load" is constantly trying to pull them apart instead of pressing them together as in normal use. In my case, the center "pin" which keeps the assembly together, carries the full load of the fans. It is really heavy duty and non-removable, which I consider a good thing. Unfortunately, this also means there is no dis-assembly for cleaning or repair. The ball bearings are somewhat exposed and will collect dust over time. The bearings are actually under no load and should last forever.When the fans are on, these swivels are subjected to constant vibration - 4 to 8 hours a day thru this past summer. They have held up well and I would highly recommend them for this use. Can't say how they would perform under compression ("normal operating use").

Bought 4 bar stools that were fixed. Adapted this 8” by drilling new holes on base side and screwing the other side to the wood seat. Seat turns great. Only in kitchen so not used heavy every day. If it falls apart, I’ll update this

This was a saver. Fixed our swivel bar chairs which we loved. No need now to purchase new chairs

smooth operation

Perfect replacement for me. My swivels actually measured 7.5” but these bolted in great. Very happy.

These are junk. They don't work properly.

Better than what it came with

I was going to replace my swivel barstools because they made so much noise turning ~ the chairs were still in good shape but the noise when kids sat in them was annoying ~ I looked it up on YouTube ~ found I could order these~ it take no time to remove the old one & put on the new 8 bolts & you’re done! Very sturdy! Easy to replace!
