I would like to use this for my cafe would this strong enough to continuous swiveling so customers can sign their name for their credit card?

Thats how I cracked my screen I advise you to turn slow with hand holding ipad or find double sided tape. Other then that I like it for my Smoothie Cafe.

I would not think this would be suitable for a everyday use like a cafe. There is no bearing in the rotation and it's plastic on plastic. The ipad isn't really protected on the edges and there is no way to tighten the front/back swivel. There are much more rugged ipad POS enclosures available (for lots more money). This item suits our use which is at a craft show on the weekends. You might want to look into the stands that tip like a teeter-totter. You flip it over (screen changes automatically) for the customer to sign and flip back for you.

I would say yes. We use it for retail - swinging back and forth - but not a such as a restaurant. For the money you have to try it. !I used vasoline when assembling the base to make it swivel smoothly.

I think it would hold up to continuous swiveling. The only thing I would advise, though, is keeping it behind the counter or finding a way to secure it to your counter so someone won't run out the door with the stand and your iPad. When I'm at art fairs, I usually hold it while the customer signs it, then put it on the inside of my booth where someone can't reach it without asking me for it.

It is made of plastic but it does seem to be sturdy enough to use in that fashion. It swivels easily.

It probably wouldn't be ideal. It has a swivel base that works better on a hard surface.

the unit does not come apart when lifted. I don't know if it is heavy duty enough for use as swivel for a chair.

It's supposed to flip and swivel, but it should not do so by itself. If it's turning by itself, you can tighten the thumbscrews on the sides.

Yes, definitely. It works in such a way that downward force does not close the top when it's open. I've been very impressed with the operability of this unit.

Yup... It doesn't swivel very smoothly but it does, so u can swivel it at whatever angle u'd like. Since its a sit or stand tray, it comes out pretty far too.

We use it to accept rent payments, including envelopes of cash, so I think it will be appropriate for your purpose. Sturdy as well. We have been happy

As long as nothing blocks it, this will swivel 360°. Very handy in the kitchen, recommended.

I suppose it all depends on your desk, but I cannot imagine that it could. Basically imagine a stiff straight object (like a super wide broomstick, LOL) that is three feet long and two feet deep, from front to back. You really have to have three feet of open space width-wise for the clamps to hold onto your desktop. I don't recall that the clamps have any ability to swivel.

I believe it can work as long as you have clearance from the chair to the stand. On the other hand if you can't place the chair's round base on top of the whole swivel table support structure underneath it won't have enough ought weight to keep it in place and it will become unstable, there dangerous to use. Measure your round base diameter and see if the fit to size structure can be placed safely.

My wife ordered it to shape into names for wedding hangers and it was too stiff to make into cursive names, it would definintly be strong enough for supports but depending on how tight you're spiraling them it may be difficult if you want them smaller than an inch spirals.

I dont think it would bend, it's pretty sturdy. And yes it rotates really well, we move it daily aiming between the couch and the desk, never had any "snags". I think it would work well for cakes.

The swivels have adjustable friction via an allen head screw with washer through to a hex nut above with metal and fiber washers. You can adjust the friction to be arbitrarily high, so this should serve your purpose. Go for it.

yes. i used this for my wedding for people to sign instead of a guest book. its about as thick as cardstock, but flexible. very strong.

The swivel is made of a hard plastic, so I'm not sure it will work if you are thinking about drilling a hole through it.

I probably wouldn't use it for that. If you put really any pressure on the iPad when on the stand it moves (the iPad swivels). The iPad wouldn't fall off, the top part would just move as they try to fill out the form.

I guess technically it could, but I think you would want something a little more substantial for a retail setting. I'm not sure how well it would hold up. This is a great choice for casual use.
