We've yet to find one that is flawless, but this one is suitable. The only thing we've discovered is that it tends to make a rather annoying grinding/creaking/squeeking sound (some may find it subtle, we don't) and from time to time the rotating motion jerks suddenly, and as others have reported, it can and tends to quite often switch clockwise/to/counter clockwise (which we don't mind), but we highly suggest a rotating stand for your artificial tree because it's not only calming but it lovely to have the chance to see all the ornaments we've purchased over the years (and not tend to hide the "uglier" ones at the back as we did yearly as kids).

Loved this item for a whole week till it broke. I didn't return it right away because I wasn't going to take my whole tree apart to return the base. But it does rotate. I don't know why mine broke a week after I put up my tree, but the seller refunded my money without a hassle so that was good.
