Awkward kitchen cabinet storage dilemma
-
Christy bellinger on Sep 06, 2016I have this same problem, except I don't have a shelf going across the top. Maybe some plastic containers or baskets to pull things out from the back? Sorry if I'm not much help, you're not along.Helpful Reply

Pat Russell on Sep 06, 2016I have lived with this same problem for over 55 years! Heard about storage baskets which are engineered for this situation (Rev a shelf) but they are really, really pricey and do not come in the size I really need. You know, if it doesn't realy solve the problem, it is way too much money. So - I measured carefully and went to a number of places before I found the proper size baskets. I had to buy at two different stores to get the four baskets I needed and it took a couple of months of looking everywhere I went. Be sure to measure from the top of your shelf to the top of the door opening and from the bottom to the shelf above it to get the depth of the baskets. Then the width of the door opening and distance to the back of the storage area, etc. to be sure your openings accommodate the baskets. Cannot believe it has taken me well over half my life to figure this out!Helpful Reply

B. Enne on Sep 06, 2016I personally detest Lazy Susans...They are hard to clean under or behind, and I find that the round (or pie) shape is a waste of space. I always hated how things toppled on or off of them...to each his own...you either hate them or love them. I have a corner cabinet similar to your pic, and I like what the company did. Picture your top shelf a bit lower, and then add another shelf perpendicular (or left to right) above it. Then add storage like Pat Russell mentioned, on all 3 levels. Mine has an old rectangular storage container with the lid missing on one shelf, and a recycled fridge drawer on another, I store my measuring cups etc. in them. They are easy to pull out. In the very back I store items I don't need too often.1 marked as helpful Reply

Julies1949 on Sep 06, 2016There are better solutions than a lazy susan. Go to some cabinet stores in your area and ask what they can suggest to retrofit a blind corner,Helpful Reply

Rae on Sep 07, 2016Had the exact cabinet for 40 some years plus a drawer above that you had to open the oven door to open the cabinet drawer! I always just used it for all the goodies that maybe I used once a year or hardly ever! ( I know it was time to pitch) and went in with a flashlight lying on my side to retrieve anything ( not a pretty sight) Good luck AmandaHelpful Reply
