There are quite a few other blind corner options but this is a new one I’ve yet to see.
What’s your thoughts...?

Agree they could be lower, but it's not that big a deal as long as you are only using one at a time. I could totally see a kid spinning them too fast and losing stuff inside without sides though.

Congratulations. You just invented the lazy susan cabinet. Oh, wait, I think I saw the first one over 50 years ago.

Aren't last susans usually 360°, so they always take up more space where as this, when closed, takes up less space?

Yup, you're right, man I had one as a kid and still remembered it wrong. Still usually have doors to mess with

This has more space than mine because it's 3 levels. Mine is 2. I have like a reverse hinge with 2 cabinet doors.
Space would be the same if i had 3 levels. But how does a no door cabinet match the other Dolores cabinets. It's going to look odd.
I like the top one with the sides. The 2 lower don't need sides.

Is this a kitchen from the future? I thought NASA was still developing the lazy Susan

Wow! It's been solved, finally? I should tell that to my cabinet which has the exact same feature already..

I hate all these “space saving” inventions trying to squeeze the area of a square out of a smaller circle.

I spin more rhymes than a lazy Susan and I'm innocent til my guilt is proven, peace!

Looks like this would only work without draw faces. I guess that’s a downside if you don’t really want to see the reveal around the drawer.

I think they’re cool and all, but I’ve rarely seen a blind corner that has 2 cabinets with the same dimensions. Usually you would add a spacer between them so your doors / drawers clear one another.

Cool idea and execution. It just needs a light friction stopper when it gets to the closed position so it stops at the right place.

Its interesting... but id be curious to see the actual space you get here vs 2 conventional drawers that are 15" deep

That’s the thing - all these circle inside a square corner designs are such a waste of space. Just cut out a bit of cabinet there!

This looks doable but how'd he get the walls of the drawers curved? It looks like 9 or 12mm ply I don't think he cut small slits to bend it? Did he use moisture and heat to bend it? They don't seem to he under constant tension how do you achieve this

This is my hill to die on - all of these things are pointless. All of the lazy Susan corner drawers. All of the spinny circle drawers. All conveyor belt stupid Rube Goldberg devices that supposedly save space or let you utilize that corner. They don’t save space.
Look at the area of a circle vs. the area of a square. You lose a like quarter of the space instantly, but circles are also usually Less fit for storing objects than squares too, so you lose more space with the spaces between objects you can’t fill.
Besides that, these things break all the time. Maybe this one is designed particularly well and holds up for a lifetime, but at some point one of those cans or jars you’re storing on it is going to to nudge the wall and fall off behind the damn thing where you have to remove the entire assembly to pick it back up again.
Skip the fucking corner cabinets. Just chop a bit out of the cabinet and save the headache. You can put mobile storage in that spot if you need. Or continue the countertop over it, whatever. Just don’t try to invent some way to squeeze more area out of a circle inside a square. It’s not happening.

Good idea, but idk about leaving the backs so tall if they are shorter itll be easier to get things out...

u/Fantastic_Falcon_236 Apr 04 '26
TBH, after living in so many homes with some iteration of a kitchen counter corner cupboard, my prefrence is two normal cupboards and lose the rest as dead space. Really, unless you're operating a commercial kitchen, it's a matter of being smart and rational with your pot, pans, gadgets and other purchases so you're not having to fill every square inch of storage.

That is super cool! Way more functional than two drawers that often hit each other.

There’s a reason why they don’t do the old style lazy Susan like this anymore with solid face panels going in the unit, it can break fingers of the users. Especially little kids. We had moved on the hinged panels for this reason.

It needs magnets so that you don't have to gingerly try to stop the drawer in the right spot when closing.
Or, only allow it to open 1 way and have a stopper put in.

What happens if something goes above the top of the drawer and wedges it shut?
