Alternatives for corner kitchen space

8 years ago

Our kitchen space has a corner in it and a cabinet with a lazy susan in it. Are there any alternatives to the lazy susan in the corner for that space?

    can you explain what you don’t like about the lazy susan? it’s a pretty efficient use of the space. i guess if you’re moving things around, you might find that a kidney pullout works better to get back into a blind cabinet. but older layouts just made that space inaccessible...

    We have one now in our current home. The lazy susan part is just ackward. Stuff falls off of it. I overload it. You have to squat down to find stuff. What is a kidney pull out?

    How about something like one of these below?

    A Super Susan isn’t a lazy Susan. Far superior.

    The super susan I have has sides that are ~2" high and keeps things from falling out. It also eliminates the center pole and is mounted on a turntable which makes it more functional.

    I recently reorganized my mother's kitchen and she's much happier with her lazy susan. A different internal organizer such as the super susan wasn't in the budget.

    She previously had small things on it (canned goods, storage containers) and the same problems you are having. Things falling off the side, squatting to read the labels on things.

    I put the canned goods in drawers, and storage containers in a large box in a lower cupboard that can easily be removed to search for the right size. The lazy susan now holds large things such as her colander, cooking pots, large bowls. Heavier things on the upper shelf of the lazy susan, lighter things such as the collander below. Easy to see, less stooping to search for things.

    I have 2 lower corner cabinets, one with a super Susan and one with only shelves inside so that I can utilize all of the space. I really didn’t love the idea of the super Susan but was convinced by my contractor and the cabinet rep to give it a try, I LOVE it. I can’t even believe how much stuff I have on it, all easily accessible. I have my large food processor, electric fry pan, vacuum sealer and bags , crepe maker, hand mixer, immersion blender, regular blender, juicer, waffle iron, Pizelle iron, fondue pot, pressure/slow cooker, mini crock pot, marble rolling pin and I don’t know what else in there. I’m really happy that they talked me into it!

    I think the super susans are great those ridiculous angled drawers are awful but honestly a good lazy susan with a bit of railing works very well and IMO still the best and most affordable corner storage.

    Our first home had a corner cupboard with a simple shelf along one side. I found it to be a super handy cupboard space for large and awkward things that would otherwise suck up a lot of space - slow cooker, large stock pot, food processor, etc. I liked it so much that in our recent semi-custom kitchen I asked for the same type of setup in the one corner cabinet we have.
