Where is this "turntable" being installed?

Is this a lazy/super susan shelf? For a corner susan cabinet? Something else? Base cabinet or upper cabinet?

Is this for a new cabinet installation or retro-fitting an existing, installed cabinet?

This information is needed for any useful advice one way or the other...

In the world of corner susans, there are pros & cons to both models.

With a center-pole susan (usually called a "lazy susan"), the shelves are attached to the center pole and there are no other shelves...so this means the entire interior is free to rotate. What this means is that you can have a door that's attached to the shelves that will then rotate inside the susan when in use...i.e., no door (single or two-piece hinged together) to open and bang against the cabinets on either side or get in the way. You don't have to have a door attached, but you can if you want to. The con, however, is that the center pole does take up space in the middle of the shelves.

With corner susans without a center pole (a.k.a., "super susans"), each rotating/turntable shelf sits on a stationary shelf (the turntable is attached to that stationary shelf) and rotates "in-place" on top of that stationary shelf. Because of the stationary shelf, you cannot have doors attached to the shelves and, therefore, must have a door that swings open. However, the big advantage here is that you have no center pole to not only take up room but to limit the size of something on the shelf...you can put something as large as the entire shelf on it if you want to.

Which is stronger or will last longer? Good question! Common sense says the "Super Susan".

However, my 13-year old "Lazy Susan" in my old kitchen worked as well the day we demolished the kitchen as the day it was installed...no sticking, no sagging, etc. It was still "perfect" and I really liked the fact that the door rotated into the cabinet and did not bang against the cabinets or get in the way when using it. These cabinets were builder-grade cabinets and were rated the worst by Consumer Reports at that time (AristroKraft). Everything else started failing/falling apart on those cabinets around year 7 or 8 (best guess...but it was several years b/f we redid the kitchen)...but that susan kept going and going...

This is going into new cabinetry on the lower level of blind corner. All the dedicated blind corner solutions waste too much space. My plan is to have top shelf extend full length of cabinet and to place a turntable shelf on the bottom level to make stuff easier to get to.

short center pole.
top version rotates on berrings, bottom version rotates around stationary pole.

Thanks for your interest.

In this case, I think the "no center pole" option is the better option. You will have more room for storage and the center pole doesn't buy you anything.

Are you planning on putting it back in the corner so you can rotate things to the "front" for removal/placement? Or, is it to go in the front space? Or maybe both???

You are definitely right about improved room. Just wasn't sure whether there were problems with the ball bearing type of lazy susan, have only had the pole kind before.

I think install just in the back corner. My cabinets are not extra deep -- no room.

To be installed as far to the rear as possible, leaving (I hope) the front of blind corner to be a place to store either cookie trays or folding step stool depending on how everthing else turns out. :-)
