They are made of porous wood. If I had the plastic ones, I wouldn't bother
to line them. I guess technically they don't *have* to be lined especially
since I have everything in the one cupboard in plastic containers. However
the previous owner had lined them with Contact paper that was ripped and bad
looking. It didn't peel up fully and neither did the paper that I put on
there. So there's a lot of adhesive with paper stuck to it here and there.
Looks like crap. Plus I sprayed the one with bug spray after I got the
weevils. I would just feel safer to have a layer of something between it
and my food.

My cupboard apparently isn't typical from what I have just looked at online
because the cabinet front is attached to the lazy Susan. This (I think) in
and of itself is causing it to go off balance. That and the way the cabinet
front fits into the opening. I think the wood swells and causes it to
stick. Sometimes it will only go one way and not the other.
