They all allow better access to the corner but also sacrifise some space in doing so.

In the end we went for Blum corner drawer unit instead. http://www.blum.com/au/en/01/30/77/index.php A bit pricey and you do loose some of the corner space but it's just so convenient we wouldn't use anything else. If you are getting a lazy susan consider the one where the doors form part of the unit. Re: Lazy susan, lemans etc 5Apr 30, 2012 1:23 pm Hi, the corner drawer unit actually gives you up to 30 percent more space and great accessability to the bottom back corner of the cupboard. Lemans, lazy susans and magic corners are great when used in the right application (paticularly the lemans and magic corner when you are limited for space and need to use a reurn cabinet off a run) but they only have two shelves. A set of corner drawers can have 3 pot drawers and a single drawer at the top for cutlery etc. Price is an issue as it is a complex cabinet while lots of components. hope this helps. With 25 years kitchen experience and a passion for what I do, I have joined this forum to offer advice or at least my opinion on all things relevant to kitchens. I was a cabinetmaker by trade and am now a senior manager of a kitchen company. Re: Lazy susan, lemans etc 6Apr 30, 2012 2:47 pm Kitchenpro Hi, the corner drawer unit actually gives you up to 30 percent more space. Are you sure? When you take into account the 3 triangular lost spaces I would say they are about on par with all the other corner storage solutions.

Unfortunately the cabinet maker said that the area is too small and I can't put devise in there, so I suppose that answers my question. Thanks for your advice. Re: Lazy susan, lemans etc 8May 04, 2012 7:28 pm with a corner unit you actually loose some space, it has been calculated and documented by German kitchen suppliers. the problem with any corner unit is, you can have only 2 levels of storage and the turnable devices allow only a max weight of 20 kg if I remember correct. If you decide on a 'dead corner', you can have on both sides at least 3 levels of drawers, possibly 4 depending on carcuss. The corner has a filler on either side, after that your drawer cabinets start. On top of it, corner bits and pieces are expensive. |
