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:

http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o.../Cornercab.jpg

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

That is exactly how I built my lazy susan now. Big things like bottles of
vegetable oil go in the corners.

The only way to gain total access to corner space is to use top entry lift
out bins such as you find on any decent yacht.

Requires some specialized bins which probably make it cost prohibitive on a
production type home.

That little bit of space on both sides of the drawer unit is a 'must-
have'. Those corners are never right. Drywallers leave this nice
'thickness' to the inside corner.
BTW, those drawers are 32" deep. Just huge. And with a solid set of
full extension Accurides, will hold 200 pounds each. The angled
sections to the right and left hold all the Tupperware.

BTW, would have to send a ferret to get things from the back of a 32" deep
drawer.

Same solution shown on a recent episode of NYW.

As that old saying goes, ".. the more thing chsnge, the more they stay
the same."

BTW, Mikey likes itG.

I like those drawer units with the progressively larger drawers. and put in
a corner like that is an excellent idea.

I've seen the same but with the door made in two pieces in and mitered
inverted to fit the corner. You have to use under or over mounted
slides. You loose some space up front but have a much more traditional
look. They usually also divide the shelves vertically so you pull it
out and look at it from either side.

has a photo of a corner cabinet that looks like something my brother has
in his house. Basically it is a base cabinet with a swing-out that
drags a couple of drawers behind it. He doesn't know the manufacturer
of his cabinets since they were in place when he bought the place.

Good design for a stand for a radial drill press or similiar
oversized bench tool that normally lives in a corner, but
occasionally needs to be pulled out for machining large
workpieces.
