Abstract: A multi-purpose furniture swivel assembly includes a ball bearing race base providing a pair of back-to-back bearing races, one being deeper than the other and includes a ball bearing assembly. In a first configuration, the bearing race base is pivotably mounted to a platform which is to be swiveled with the ball bearing assembly between them in the shallower bearing race, and this assembly is pivotably mounted with respect to a tabletop. In a second configuration, the bearing race base is inverted to support the bearing assembly in the deeper bearing race. The bearing race base is pivotably fastened to the platform, and support pads are carried on the now bottom side of the race base to support the race base in spaced relation with respect to a tabletop.
