Space needed for a corner cabinet

18 years ago

Sorry if this is a silly question but if I want to have a 36' base lazy susan with a 27' easy reach upper cabinet, how much space do I need to allow for on each wall? Do I divide the total in 1/2?

I am trying to determine how much space I have between the cooktop and the corner and between the corner and the sink in order to select the best upper and lower cabinet sizes.

Thanks for any help.

It'd be 36" and 27" on each wall. There are no silly questions.

You need 36 inches along each wall. Most cabinet companies also make a 33 inch version too if you need the space.

Thanks for the quick and helpful responses. I guess I was wishfully thinking I had more space for cabinets:)
