Default Corner cabinets without lazy susan.

Wasted space in corners has always been an issue.
Lazy susans don't use all the space either and they tend to get
overloaded and stuff falls off, hard to clean etc, etc.
And the really good ones are expensive.
Twice I have had the pleasure to install a countertop for a new
cabinet maker/client who does it this way:

In one case he used full extension slides and the drawers were just
huge.
This particular guy uses face frames. I'll take a picture next time
I get to do a job for him.
In the meantime, I hope this may help someone else's lay-out
problem.

Too much wasted space there, big triangle behind the drawers and in
the corners of the other two cabinets that is unaccessible.
At least with a lazy susan you can set something in the wasted space.


Draw a circle where the lazy susan would go and let's see you get to
the 'spaces' through an 18" opening.


Well, I think this is a great solution if you can waste the angled floor
space. However, sometimes Robatoy's solution doesn't work. Our kitchen
is rather small, and the counter is at right angles to the stove. There
is only 2 1/4" between the drawerfront under the counter and the right
edge of the oven door. Under that drawer is a lazy susan with 2 levels
to maximize the space in the corner. Above the counter, the cabinet has
a door that hinges, so it opens above the counter at both angles.

House was built in 1928-9 and the kitchen hasn't been changed in layout
much since then. Radburn community in Fair Lawn, NJ, a historic
