[sanity] Do not install a lazy susan in a corner cabinet

Not as much capacity, but easier to reach everything and it makes partial use of the corner.

I bought one of these from Ikea and installed it myself into a corner cabinet. I was a HUGE pain in the ass, but I got it done. Worst part was that there was nothing sturdy enough to mount it to inside the existing cabinet so I wound up mounting short section of 1x1 square steel tubing to the inside. Some hours on the floor later I had a working lazy susan! The cabinet is incredibly more useful now, although in reality you do lose some space to the mechanism and the dead corners.

I installed ours when I did the cabinets. All pots and pans hidden and accessible! Sure, the occasional logjam happens, but pull and rattle long enough and they eventually clear...

anyone have link/s to buy these (or similar)?

Probably a lot more too!

We're thrilled that our kitchen designer talked us out of a lazy susan for our corner cabinets. They installed this corner door thing and now we have easier access to out pots and pans than we ever had before. Granted, if we wanted to use that corner for smaller items, a Lazy Susan might have worked. But for our purposes, this worked a lot better.

wurm wins.

not sure if the one shown articulates (doesn't look like it), but depending on what's on the side of the open door, and what the overall space is like, a more expensive articulating corner door can solve just about any corner conundrum.

My kitchen has four corner cabinets with lazy susans. They're original -- the house was built in 1957 -- and very well built, if not terribly pretty. One of base cabinets has canned goods, the other has casserole dishes and glass mixing bowls and whatnot, so they're perfectly sturdy. The interior of each cabinet has masonite wrapped around it, so stuff can't fall off. And the door of the cabinet is at 45 degrees so access is easy, I have more counter space, and the upper corner cabinets hold more stuff.

I'm very fond of them.

I have a galley kitchen so no corners, but if I did, this seems the way to go! Going to share this with a friend who is starting a major kitchen remodel.
