I removed the link in your post as that made it seem like you were advertising. But as that is against our rules, I knew you couldn't be doing that! ; )

From the Chinese mushrooms I have seen I think it would be fairly easy to build something based off instructions for a 'lazy susan' which have plans freely available.

I guess when you get too big for a Sit N Spin, you can graduate to a Planche N Spin!

We've tried them in Alberta, Canada recently. The mechanism tends to bind within a few weeks. They sit unused in the storage area of gyms.

Bit of a joke.

Even if it worked, I'm not sure they are useful past the stage of beginner as the kids would not LEAN at the right angle. And for beginners a bucket is simpler and easier to construct.

So I suppose I will just stick with buckets for now, they work fine and no binding issues. @rick have you ordered much thru chinese suppliers?

The Gaofei equipment is cheaper, but it is not very good, it seems to need a lot of 'fixing' to remain usable. Long term you would be better buying from a more expensive manufacturer and not spending extra on constant maintenance an repair.
