I have the easy reach L-shaped upper cabinet in my kitchen and I'm very happy with it. My mom had the diagonal cabinet in her kitchen so I knew how things could disappear in that style cabinet. My easy reach is very easy to organize and access everything and I get a lot of stuff in it. I use the lowest shelf for all my spices on two lazy susans and it works great. I can put taller things on the shelves above and adjust the shelves however I need to.

Is there still time to improve the storage; especially if this is your forever home.

Looks like nobody likes the diagonal cabinets :) Leaning towards the easy access upper cabinets as well.

Thanks all!

Here's the thing: This is an opinion question and has no solid answer.

So get ye down to your local Lowe's and look at the sample cabinets. Reach up and pretend you're fetching down your tea pitcher. Imagine yourself reaching the difficult top shelf or back corner.

Then decide for yourself.

I couldn't remember what I was doing in my kitchen so I looked for an email from my KD. Apparently I am doing a diagonal upper corner cabinet. Mine is going to have a lazy Susan in it. I had one for 20 years in my last house and used it for all my many spices.

I have two upper diagonal cabinets, which I prefer after examining all the other options. I didn't want those awkward hinge doors of the Easy Reach. I already had one of those hinged doors on a lower base lazy Susan, so it didn't make sense to me to have three of those doors in my small kitchen. I am smart about what I put in corner cabinets and I have items in those cabinets that I access daily. In one cabinet I store oils and vinegars on the bottom shelf and lesser used items on the upper shelves. In the other cabinet are dry measuring cups and some other cooking utensil on the lowest shelf, wet measuring cups on the shelf above that and two colanders on the shelf above the wet measuring cups. All three shelves are within easy reach, since I don't push things to the back of the cabinet. Measuring cups are short, so I am able to stack the three shelves tightly. Again, the back of the shelves are always left empty, so no problem there.
