This a great! But Houzz reduces the quality of the image to where it is virtually unreadable. Can you post each image indivifually? Or link to a dropbox, etc?

OMG "analysis paralysis".

I agree with Patricia. Our Medallion corner cabinet came with a two level lazy susan installed and I have a ton of stuff in there and never have an issue with anything falling over the rimmed edge and everything is easily accessible from the front hinged door opening.

I'm very happy with my corner drawers. Top drawer is my knife storage and below are potholders and dish towels with rarely used glassware on the bottom drawer. I've had lazy susans and hated them because it meant I had to bend down to see what I needed to take out.

I have two corner cabinets with the LeMans drawers. LOVE THEM!!!

Much preferred to Lazy Susans.

I love my lazy Susan with the sides. Never had anything fall. My kitchen is small and I preferred the design of the door rotating inside the cabinet. I did custom cabinets to maximize my space since my kitchen is small.

I am remodeling right now and agree with Diana about the Lemans.

My cabinet person STRONGLY disliked using the design shown by cpartist. Said that it wastes a lot of space. I did not verify that comment, because I liked the look of the Lemans anyway.

FYI, the Lemans unit can be installed on either side of the corner.

Our old kitchen had 2 corners (a U kitchen with fridge on one side, sink in the middle, and range on the other side), and when I was planning a remodel I looked at every possible corner solution I could find. I ended up with one super susan for small appliances and colanders, and a dead corner with drawers on each side.

For me it came down to utilizing the spaces as efficiently as possible for MY needs. I had storage for large, seldom used items, so I didn't need hard-to-access space. I had drawer storage for colanders of dry goods, and pots and pans. What I didn't have was nearly enough drawers, and the only place to put the was on each side of the corner.

I put in a 4-drawer stack 18" wide for miscellaneous small utensils; towels and dish cloths; rolling pins and other baking supplies; a tub for potatoes. The other side of the corner had a 3-drawer stack with cooking utensils on the top, pots and pans next, and canisters of dry goods on the bottom. There is no way I could have gotten all of those things into any other corner solution.

The bottom line is that there NO single best way to utilize a corner. It completely depends on individual needs and the rest of the kitchen.

@Diana Bier Interiors, LLC can you please be more specific why you prefer your LeMans drawers to Lazy Susans? I do not understand the difference. From your photo it looks like a Lazy Susan to me. I had thought the "Magic Corner" cabinets were the best, buy my info may be outdated.

And then there is the "Super Susan". I am getting a headache from this.

If you are comparing cabinet to cabinet, I feel like a super susan ( it has a 32" turntable vs a 28" ) is using the most of its interior space. Second to that is the LeMans cabinet. This needs to be seen in person to really be appreciated.

The bigger consideration is the actual layout. If you have, for example, a 12" cabinet then lazy susan then a 15" cabinet, you may be better off with the Lemans on the left ( 12" cab plus 36" side of lazy susan ) and a 24" cabinet with rollouts or drawers adjacent to it.

Best of luck to everyone with their corners!

I had the Lemans in my condo kitchen. Hated it too. It meant first I had to open the door, then pull out the Lemans. And in reality, I probably get as much stuff in my drawers as I did in the Lemans.

RoyHobbs, the Lemans unit has 2 levels that can be fully pulled out independently of one another. The lazy Susans sometimes are independent, but the ones that have the cabinet fronts attached are not. I lived with 4 lazy susans in my old kitchen--2 upper and 2 lower--for many years and they were state-of-the-art at that time. They were the type that had to rotate together, and it was difficult to access the lower ones, since you had to bend down to get to the bottom level. Also even with those little sides, things would fall into the cabinet and be forgotten (where is the oregano?? I guess I need to buy more lol).

The Lemans units fully extend so you can see everything more easily without having to get down on your knees. They are also larger and can hold large pots/bowls/baking dishes.

What you choose depends on your preference and what you want to store. CPArtist's drawers would be more appropriate for utensils and small items; I suppose pots and bowls would be harder to fit in them.

I imagine there is a YouTube video showing the Lemans' unit in action. The pull out from the inside of the cabinet into the kitchen. There are also ones for tall cabinets (not just base and wall).

The house we rented while building our current house had the Lemans corner deal. Hated it. Current house has a super susan and our previous house had a super susan. I like them so much better for what we store in them. We do not store pots, pans, bowls etc in them. We store jarred sauces, canned tomato products on the top one and bread crumbs, taco shells and some other things on the bottom one. Have never had anything fall off.

Here's a video showing how the Lemans units work:

I have a Super susan in my vacation home, but I much prefer the Lemans.

There's no right or wrong, it's what works for you.

We have super sussans in two corners in our small U-shaped kitchen, and they work great! I even keep obscure mixing liquours in the corners of each shelf! :)

Rev A Shelf?

Diana is correct that I wouldn't be able to fit pots and bowls in my corner drawers but thankfully I have several large lower drawers for all my bowls, pots, and even my ice cream maker. :) I needed a spot for my knives, potholders, dish towels and small glass containers and this does the job.

Yes!

Just a quick note to those who already commented, if you’re interested I updated the OP with more comments and figures and updated images.

And this whole post is more informational than some kind of quest for truth, LOL. Corners involve HUGE tradeoffs, and everyone has different priorities,so there’s no one right answer. Hopefully some of this data will help solidify your decision. Some of my findings were eye opening to me, especially how competitive simply closing off the corner and simply widening the adjoining drawers is with corner drawers, and probably saves you a bit of money.

Totally off-topic, D Ahn, but your little dog is adorable!

The LeMans is awesome if you want to store big stuff. We have oversized pots and pans and our Dutch oven, big colander, salad spinner, ginormous bowl, etc. I imagine I might prefer a super Susan for small stuff?

Here’s the Hafele Magic Corner in my very small 1914 Craftsman kitchen. I think it’s great!

Wow that holds a lot!

Love your kitchen, chinacatpeekin!

Unfortunately, houzz reduces the images to unreadability.

chinacatpeekin I love your kitchen and your stove!
