In laying out a kitchen, the corner cabinets can be tricky. The most efficient use of base cabinet space in the corner is the "lazy susan". However, sometimes the layout of the kitchen doesn't allow for the 36" of space necessary on each wall for a standard lazy susan cabinet. These great storage pieces do come in 33" wide but the door opening is so small it becomes a much less usable cabinet. An alternative to the lazy susan is what's known as the "blind base". This type of cabinet comes in different widths but is typically 24" deep with a door and drawer. The "blind" section of the cabinet can be difficult to access so people generally store things that they don't use regularly in these corner units. One solution we've found for this challange is the "Magic Corner 1" from Hafele. The cabinet door mounts to a pull-out unit and rolling shelves allow easy access to items in the back of the cabinet. The "Magic Corner 2" is another great option providing total access to the far reaches of the blind cabinet. The front baskets pull out and swivel to a 90 degree open position while back baskets are simultaneously moved to the cabinet opening.
