in short, I, personally, have yet to see a suitable, satisfying solution

Meant to reiterate that, IME, it all boils down to hardware, both its
availability, and reliability over time.

I have a lot of good ideas on custom made blind corner cabinet
solutions, but finding the hardware to effect them, and then
incorporating that hardware into a design has always proven to not be a
cost effective solution for my, or a client's purposes.

If cost were of no concern, that may not be the case.


Basically agree fully...it was just a passing query that seemed worth a
post while waiting to go shovel blizzard (minor, nothing major) from the
haymow before it all melts and makes a mess below. Unfortunately, the
wind blows even a small amount of actual snow everywhere in that old
thing...

On the commercial lazy susan hardware--agree they're mostly junk or
ridiculously expensive if not. We (Dad and I) built one for the base
cabinets here when he was redoing the old farm house. It uses a set of
Krause oneway thrust bearings on 2" (iirc) pipe and will support several
hundred pounds w/ no slop. It's been 30+ yr and is still as solid as
originally built and will be for another 30 at least.

I doubt if elder son will ever do anything, anyway, in reality.
