good idea. thanks for the tip.
What I want is to be able to turn something1/8 turn, instead of a full 1/4 turn. So I can angle stuff. Or is there a workaround for that?

I could not decorate without my ottoman! I figure out a count of everything I need, drop it all in one spot then sit and start moving forward and back. I wait until everything is moved to the spot I need then work on rotate and up/down. Everything is always even and symmetrical. I can decorate pretty quickly using this method as opposed to the guesswork beforehand

Wow, I've honestly never thought of doing that. Awesome tip
thank you, yea this is just a little tip i thought of that when i talked to a few people decorating houses they never thought of, like said above you get absolute control of angles and stacking items etc, i designed a fish tank or two and a pretty complex vendor/merchant booth/shop using this, came out perfect using this. trying to eyeball it never comes out quite right..
thought i would bring it back to life as ive used it for a long time and was wondering if other people had thought of it. glad you all can use it here. would love to see this as a tuesday tip

/rotate right 90 is a 1/4 turn, so 45 would be a 1/8 turn and 180 would be a 1/2 turn. You can use any number up to 359. No sense in using 360 because that wouldn't actually do anything.

When I have to move small items, I just sit down on my ottoman, drop the items and then pick up the ottoman. You stay sitting securely, even when the seat is gone and can reach the small items easily
