lazy susan for 36' corner base cabinet

17 years ago

We are in the processes of picking cabinets, and the kd that we may go with said we could live w/out a lazy susan. I wanted a wood lazy susan with 2 shelves. We are at budget and I am not sure if he is trying to save us $ or not. Also reminded us that the garbage pails are smaller than the stand alone ones, and they do take up a cabinet. We have a medium size kitchen that is getting gutted and needs additional support in an extention area, and a header added. We picked out custon cabinets, w/ full extentions & soft closure. Not sure what to do about other extras. All planning GE Profile SS appliances.

My 2 cents is get the lazy susan and, if you are strictly adhering to budget, drop the soft closure. A corner with space I can't get to would drive me nuts ~ drawers that don't have a fancy closing, not really.

I would recomend a super susan it has no pole and the shelf turns on ball bearings. The post takes up alot of room. I would do a search on this forum for super susans and blind corners. I think you will find the threads helpful. I agree with previous post, you will hate those blind corners and wasted space.

You could order the super susan shelves later and just get the 36" cabinet with shelves to start with. We have 2 super susans and can't imagine not having the turn tables on the shelves. It's a big cabinet and most things would be very hard to get at without the turntable. For our upper corner cabinet, I just ordered the turntables on my own off e-bay

But it would help to get a better idea of cost differences first. Could you do other things to save - like help with demolition? We have soft close and love it - especially since we keep our dinnerware in a drawer. We also saved thousands by getting floor models for our stove and fridge.

Good luck!

Super Susans must come from the factory. No aftermarket install. THey won't fit through the door of the cabinet. So, get that now. But, get more cabinet quotes. If you are at budget and haven't even gotten a proper corner cabinet, then you need to choose a different cabinet line. Or, your budget is unrealistic given your wants and expectations. Do more investigating.

I think it depend on how you plan to use that corner. I couldn,t wait to get my super susan in and now that I have it I don,t use it. I put in a large pantry at the same time and that took away my need for it. For me the space would work better with the double hinged door thats on it know versus the old cabinet door that was on oneside only and made access extemely hard. With the double hinged door I have easy access all the way to the back and it would be a great place to put large seldom used things like my pasta machine and canning stuff. If I wasn,t selling the house I would have already pulled out the super suzan in favor of a open large storage space.
