My wife and I designed this revolving dictionary stand as a place for her two volume Oxford English Dictionary. As a writer she uses the dictionary frequently. With other dictionary stands, the volume she needed was never the one open on top. With this stand, both volumes are open. She just rotates to the one she needs. It is made of cherry with natural Watco Danish Oil and paste wax. The shelves are sliding dovetails with a 12" lazy susan to rotate the top portion of the stand.
