I have one of each. One with no lazy susan, one with the susan on the shelf.

I use the one with a shelf only for things I don't use everyday. It holds a lot. 2 Crock pots, at least 6 different sized stock pots and steamers, a pizza stone, and some other things. It's pretty deep and not the easiest to get in and out of. But, I wouldn't give it up.

I use the one with the lazy susan for pots and pans that I use every day. It holds a lot too, not as much as the other, but still way more than you would think. 5 or 6 frying pans nested, most of my lids in a rack, one medium sized wok pan, and 4 or 5 sauce pans.

Just FYI, a super susan holds much more than a lazy susan. Also, if your corner cabinet forms an angled corner, rather than a 90 degree angle, it will hold much more.

I have a super susan in one corner and a the other corner has just shelves. The super susan hold all the things that I use on a daily basis as I can get to these items very readily.
The other corner has items that I use infrequently as it is harder to get to these items.

for those who wrote back or others out there, if you only had 1 corner, which would it be.

I am going with the SS w/o the pole. Allot of people on this forum recommend it over the regular LS with pole. The pole takes up too much room and the SS seems to turn allot smoother with less problems. The EASY REACH CORNER unit hold allot also but I think the SS has easier access in MO.

Technically, you lose a little bit of storage space with a super susan (but even all those are not created equal- if it's being custom made- ensure that the diameter of the circle is the maximum). But you gain SO MUCH in useable/accessible space over a solid fixed shelf. Unless you are very skinny, flexible and have good eyes (to see in the far reaches of that dark corner), it will be difficult to access the very back of the corner, especially on the lower shelf.

I have two 36" corner cupboards. One is the LS with a pole (not by choice). The other has no innards (yet). We plan to make a Super Susan for the one, and if it works out as intended, probably will replace the LS with a SS. I actually like the accessibility of the one with no innards- I have my big appliances in there, but realize I am wasting space. However, in my total house reno, building a SS is low on the list!

I vote for the super susan.
However, that really depends on what you want to store in this cabinet. If you only have large items to put here (crock pot, roaster, etc.) then a super susan might not work as well. I use my super susan for all of my small electric appliances (food processor, blender, hand held mixer...) and it is perfect for that.

I have one corner. The old kitchen had shelves; new kitchen has a super susan (w/ a pole). If I had to make the choice again, I would still go w/ the super susan.

I can find plenty of spaces for hard to reach, little-used items (the sort that go in the far reaches of a corner cab), so I'm more interested in having space for the easily accessible items I can get to in the super susan.

IMHO, it's really about which you need most: a little more storage space for less-used items, or giving up a bit of space to have items easier to access.

HTH :)

My DH and I have been arguing over this. Speaking to the KD, the cabinets we are going w/ (Merrilat Classic Deluxe), does not make a SS only a poled LS. I do not want the pole. He suggests to not get the LS & I will have more space. Thats what my DH wants to do. If i go w/ the higher line cabinet they have a SS, but I don't want to spend more (told the door I like in the higher line was quite a bit more. My GC/KD (a CKBR) told me he could contruct 1 if I really want that, but I'm not sure that's a good idea. I've looked around alot, & feel this is the best for my budget and I like a door style a lot. Any other thoughts out there?

not sure if this would work for you. My GC is putting one of these in my cabinets. HardwareHut.com RAS-4WLS201-31-BS52 31 INCH D SHAPE SWIVEL BEARING SHELF. I got this idea from someone one on the forum. Hope it helps.

If you want a full round circle try "realsolutions.com under lazy susans I think your cabinet guy can make it work.

Marybeth, I found the in closeouts on Revashelf at half the price of the D shape swivel at hardware hut. (link below)

I'm skipping the super susan cabinet completely. It left me with 6" on my stove run side so I'm going with a blind cabinet with a 15" door/drawer. I'll either add some type of accessibility hardware from revashelf (not cheap) or just put the things that I rarely use there.

Here is a link that might be useful: Revashelf close out swivel shelf

My cabinets are now being instaled, and even though I have a 36" corner cabinet w/ a 90" angle, the inside is in a circle shape. It isn't as big as I thought. I think I will be fine with out the lazy susan. Maybe latter we will install it.
