Blind Corner Cabinet Shelves VS Lazy Susans

Blind corner cabinets and lazy susans have a lot in common. Both are old devices with trendy designs. Both solve corner cabinet issues. Is there really any difference? While both are useful in a variety of situations, each has their own unique advantage in given scenarios. So which is right for which situations?

Blind Corner Cabinets

Lazy Susans

First some definitions before we get to solutions. A blind corner cabinet is a cabinet space that has a door leading into a large, spacious cabinet area on either side of the door. The cabinet goes in the depth of the cabinets and extends to the left or right the remaining width. Because the cabinet width extends so much farther than the door accesses, it is often difficult to reach the back of these cabinets, to say the least. In fact, depending on the design of the cabinet, many blind corner cabinets are so poorly designed that much of the contents are actually inaccessible at all. One of the facetious reasons they are called blind corner cabinets is because you have to plunge your arm into the space and blindly search for what you need. Blind corer cabinet shelves are pivoting shelves that come outwards (as described below).

Lazy susans, on the other hand, are rotating shelves, usually mounted to a pivot that allows full 360-degree rotation. These cabinet organizers can be made of plastic, metal, or wood and can be purchased in single or multi-tier versions. In addition, lazy susans come in a variety of shapes suited to fit varying cabinet shapes and sizes. Shapes include half moon, kidney, and pie designs. Lazy susans are available with, both, baskets and shelves, and the shelves sport lips or fences for added support.

Blind Corner Cabinets. Now for some solutions to your blind corner cabinets. A blind corner cabinet shelf is mounted on a central spine or to the door of the cabinet, which allows the shelving to pivot out of the cabinet. This effectively brings the rear of the cabinet to the forefront, with the front actually protruding out into the open space outside of the cabinet. The end result is that you can easily access all of your belongings from pots to dry goods and appliances. Blind corner cabinets are available with multiple shelves as well as baskets, and are made from plastic, wood or metal wiring. The price goes up respectively with the quality of the mechanisms.

Lazy Susans. Lazy susans will not solve the great depth of blind corner cabinets. They can, however, assist you with almost any other cabinet organization dilemma. Whether it is overcrowding a large base cabinet or not keeping stock of a pantry closet, lazy susans offer you organization in a snap. The beauty of these cabinet organizers is that you can access all your cabinet contents with ease. Simply rotating the lazy susan shelf reveals everything you have stored in the closet.

While both of these cabinet organization wonders offer relief from some dilemma or another, using the proper one in every situation will help you maximize the benefits and efficacy of each one. Never lose pot lids, spice containers or mixing bowls again with reliable blind corner cabinets and lazy susans at your service.
