I am facing a similar situation and saw this solution as well (and liked
it too). Still it seemed to me - though I never followed through on it -
that it would not be difficult to design something like this using full
extension slides. In the end, I have decided to put up a wall, a sliding
door and make the whole corner into a pantry, if that makes any sense at
all...

Maybe to others, but I'm not quite seeing the picture. Care to elaborate?

Thanks


Bad description on my part. Think of the typical blind cabinet
installation - cabs along a wall (C), ending in a blind cab at the corner
(B), and then more cabs (C) along the adjacent wall.

Now, take out the blind cab and the first cab or 2 on the adjacent wall.
Both lowers and uppers.

Wall this area in making a pantry about 2' deep (the depth of the adjacent
cab) by about 4' or more (the depth of the blind cab - 2' - plus the width
of the adjacent cabs)

If you are still with me, a sliding door goes where the adjacent cab used
to be. Now you have a full pantry from floor to ceiling.

I probably just confused the situation more...

I like this solution, too, but how would you get the first shelf to pivot
out of the way?

I think I got it.

Yes, I recently posted that link last night as the exact set up I'm facing
with my own cabinet and the exact question of how to pivot the front shelf.
Not sure yet about the pivot, but I plan to do this set up. For now, I'll
keep the bulkier items on the rear slider (I will also have a double shelf
system for the rear) and the lids and smaller items on the front, which will
enable me to reach the rear.

Thanks again.


I wounder if one of these would work:

Perhaps mount the first drawer to this...
