I now have the wall corner cabinet proudly hanging in my kitchen and I'm wondering if any of you have creative solution for organizing the interior of this cab.

I'm assuming regular lazy susans on each shelf will do the trick (I think the ones that Ikea sells are too small), but I'm wondering if you guys have any ideas that I haven't thought about. (Especially for the hight shelves...they're making me feel mighty short!)

Thanks for any help.

Hi -
well, we have a (non-IKEA) corner cabinet, and have lazy-susans on all 3 shelves. They are the 'normal' sized ones, and sit to one side, leaving the left side as shelf.

Works pretty well for organizing, but really, that top shelf is dead space, especially in the back, and you'll only want to put things up there you rarely need.

The susans on the lower 2 shelves (I guess the susans are about 12-14" diam.) are quite helpful for bottled items; I use the non-rotating left side for boxed goods.

heh - glass shelves on the upper 2 would at least let me see what's there from below. ;^)

Glass shelves -- that's a great idea!

Maybe I'll store serving dishes and long flat things on that top shelf. They'll take up the space and I'll keep the height low. Hmmm..that could be really helpful!

Thanks for sparking that brainstorm!

misscox, there's supposedly a new glass susan for the corner upper cabs, although it's not on the website yet. Also, other companies make D-shaped susans that fill more of the space than a round one does. Rev-a-shelf has one, I think.

good tip on the D shape...i didn't think/know about that. I see a site called Lazysusans.com, they've got a huge selection. Thanks for the tip!

For what it's worth, attached is a photo of the IKEA glass lazy susan in a 39" high wall corner cabinet I saw at the store.

wow, that's pretty cool looking. Of course, it hits stores after I've just put everything away!

I actually bought 3 Copco 18-inch lazy susans from Bed, Bath and Beyond. I had bought another, more expensive lazy susan from The Container store, but it had a pedestal that raised the plate a goo 3/4 or an inch or so; it was actually harder to see the items and i was going to have to readjust all the shelves again.

The Copco spin nicer and are flatter. I've put each one off to the left of the shelf, so I can store other items off the susan to the right. (Food is going in this cabinet). The very top shelf is extremely short, and I've put long serving plates, bakers, etc up there. They extend from front to back, I don't use them often, so all I need is my trusty stepstool and I can get them down (and I don't feel like I'm wasting all that space in the back).

Thanks for all who helped with this!

That is cool!
