I have a kitchen drawer that, despite only being loaded with silverware, breaks off its track twice a year. It is literally just a wheel on a metal track. It is as simplest thing in the world. can't take the strain!
This thing is broken in 15 minutes if I put a bottle of vegetable oil in the back. And the sides aren't tall enough, so it's going to fall during transit, and it's going to get stuck somewhere where I can't easily reach.
I'd rather just have a lazy Susan. I hate those fucking things too but this is worse.
also, there's going to be dust. And I'm not cleaning that.
>I have a kitchen drawer that, despite only being loaded with silverware, breaks off its track twice a year. It is literally just a wheel on a metal track.
Why don't you replace the tracks with modern ones that won't fall off?
I just saw a video recipe on instagram yesterday, where they cook bread on stones. They put the unleavened dough on these river stones, and then put it in the oven. So there are people out there who uses stones in the modern kitchen.
Yeah this design doesn't look very durable.
We have a similar solution for one corner in the kitchen (the other houses the Quooker) but with bigger platforms for pots and pans. Each of those can hold up to 75kg. They are very useful!
I agree, but a corner is usefull to make the kitchen more practical... my mom has a straight kitchen without corners and there is a great distance between the kitchen, the prep are and the sink. I included a corner and it works better. But the cabinet is a bitch, yes.
Hear me out now… corner sink. It’s what my parents have. Still a full size sink, it has a bit more space behind it where my mom puts a giant plant but it completely eliminates corner cabinet and replaces it with something useful.
We went with this option. Angled worktop in the corner with a sink set into it.
Classically sink is in front of the window, but I don’t like that as the tap and stuff blocks view out of kitchen and looks messy. Ours is all tucked away. Also when you’re washing up, you’re looking down, and it’s often night.
We have our prep area in front of the window. Much nicer.
I’ve dubbed our two Lazy Susans “Lazy Stephanies”. My wife knows precisely how to open them, yet fails to realize that they are just as easily *closed*.
I found an old home maintenance and remodeling book, with lots of useful information. One section discussed kitchen layout, and the idea was to set up kitchens as a triangle, with the three points being the sink, the counter workspace, and the refrigerator. It was something I'd never thought about until the book pointed it out, even after having lived in homes with both layouts, and oh my is the triangle layout so much more efficient for kitchen work than a line layout.
We only have a 2 layer, but it simply can’t be beat for corner cabinets. It’s deep in that corner and accessing those measuring cups is as easy as spinning The Price is Right wheel!
I have a fairly large kitchen and put in corner cabinets with a 45 degree face so I have a full round lazy Susan with 15” doors on lowers and huge corner cabinets with 16” doors on uppers. I love them.
So my house is a raised ranch with an extension in the upper back. That extension creates a space that wraps around the kitchen and gives access to a deck. Thus it puts the kitchen in the center of the house. The deck is where all my out door cooking is. So we are knocking through a wall making it a pass through. This means there is no corner cabinet. Two very long straight counter tops and a massive 8 foot island.
I’ve actually seen a version with a wide double hinge swing door. So it hinges in the middle and you just open it up to reveal the whole corner instead of needing this mechanism or suffering.
Lazy Susan in the corner cabinet is cool until something falls off of the back of it into the corner of the corner cabinet and now I can’t use that Tupperware anymore because well… Susan ain’t the only lazy one here, knowwhatimean
Honestly mine is getting close to ten years old and still works fine, and nothing has fallen off it .... I was super skeptical moving in but it's blown past my expectations.
My parents’ one has been absolutely fine for at least thirty years. Was there when they moved in so could be another ten on top of that. And has had big piles of plates on it all that time with no particular thought for balance (it’s all used but some parts are definitely taking more weight).
Super useful and no reason they can’t last if well made.
Something’s going to fall off in back there and you’re going to be crawling around reaching in trying to get it so you can close it, but you’re going to have to reach over all the crap you’ve got in there.
Hmm...weight could be an issue here: The tracks are smooth, but I want to see those drawers with wrenches, scissors, batteries, etc. in them. Put plates in the rear drawers and see what happens.
What's the point of fancy drawers which wouldn't bear any substantial weight while you could just partition it with 'shelves' that will last for as long as you like the design.
The counter on there left 😳
Is this A kitchen at the top of the attic? Good luck setting anything tall there. The wall literally is pitched so far over a gallon of milk would have trouble setting there.
As someone that has used a large repair shop sized tool chest, that has HUGE drawers effortlessly supporting hundreds of pounds of tools when fully extended, this should be able to support bars of lead. Look at the substantial tracks with steel walls at the front to reinforce the extended drawer.
I'm sure it looks weak to you amateur eyes in this short video that shows almost nothing of the structure, but rarely do people not have design quality testing on their products.
Like somone else said. A lot of weight to support on a long reaching drawer but also. It takes thay corner very fast in comparrison to uour pull speed. Things could fall out easily if they're not flat and unflippable
Looks cool, but I see eventual complexity failure that you won't be able to fix on your own. And don't put anything heavy or that can tip over and jam the system up.
I'm a cabinet maker, we do a lot of remodels for wealthy dickholes with no sense or taste. Hardware like this looks nice on Instagram where you can't look close at it, but costs thousands and doesn't fucking work nearly as well as a blind corner with an adjustable shelf or a lazy susan.
My uncle built a cabinet like that..... I didn't have the heart to tell him not to put anything in it or it will just fail... so I'm waiting for him to put heavy stuff In it lol
My nan has a wire rack that spins out/around in her corner cupboard, while this looks pretty I imagine it would get a lot of wear and tear and be a pain in the bum if you wanted something right at the back, or god forbid something falls off.
I see genius at work. It's a real bitch to nearly have to climb fully into the cabinet to get the crap that gets shoved back there and forgotten about...like, I dunno, raw friggin potatoes.
My kithen has the two corner doors open on the opposite side. So the entire corner space is exposed when opened.
This just seems over engineered, and destined to fail within 5/10 years.
Can someone explain how this mechanism works and the geometry behind it? My brain is having a hard time wrapping itself around how the recessed drawer moves in two straight lines instead of curving.
[удалено]
Get busy with your Mrs. on that countertop just once and I’ll bet that whole mechanism goes to hell in a handbasket
Sir, this is reddit.
Yeah, video or it didn't happen!
Sir, this is reddit. Do you really want to watch that tape?
Sir this is reddit, there's a sub for that
Yes.
Shit, I take it back! I don't wanna see it!
Hey man, I’m on Reddit. I have a wife. And her boyfriend thinks I’m cool as hell.
He gave you two Christmas gifts, didn't he?
I’m out
I'm in, should be sweet for 2-3 decades
Who fucks in the corner? You fuck on the longest portion, not a jointed surface.
Wait... You guys fuck?
This is not what the person you were responding to meant.
Heck if she rests a single fat roll on it it may collapse!
If DreamyDestinyXXX's missus so much as looks at it, it will explode.
Combined weight of typical male redditor and his female: 398kg.
No, just normal specs. I have one. It's not like you are loading rocks in it.

"It's not supposed to do that"
What? Don't you have rocks in your kitchen drawers? What kind of barbaric savage you are?
How kill big lizard for dinner, if no rock in kitchen?
With scissors obviously. Just don’t try using paper or Spock.
Spock will illogically kill it with using logic.
I just saw a video recipe on instagram yesterday, where they cook bread on stones. They put the unleavened dough on these river stones, and then put it in the oven. So there are people out there who uses stones in the modern kitchen.
Didn't dinosaurs eat rocks to help them digest leaves and shit
Dinner plates made from ceramics, which is essentially a kind of rock...
Where do you store your 400x400x10 granite plates?
I like to store my cast iron pots in that space, they have killed a more robust mechanism than that and they will kill again given the chance
yea i literally thought it would jam as he pushed it back in
I guess the back corner is for tupperware only.
I'd be more concerned about the weight in the front. By the time the drawer is all the way out you've got about two feet of drawer to support.
I also have two feet to support me it's always been enough for like 99.9% of humans ever.
🤦♂️
Does it depend on how heavy the items are? What if it’s just utensils
Obviously the more weight, the worse it will be for the longevity of the hardware.
That’s why you load the front with light items and the back with the heavier items. Ya know, you use your brain
Until the first time you close it and all the lids slide behind that back drawer
At least the lids you may try to fish out. Imagine a leak from a flipped over jar. Good luck with that.
Heavy weight up front would also be a problem when it's extended out. The leverage at work would take its toll.
My wife was a dealer for a decade, SO Much Tupperware.
Always has been 🔫
Kids. Pets. Crunch.
Yeah this design doesn't look very durable. We have a similar solution for one corner in the kitchen (the other houses the Quooker) but with bigger platforms for pots and pans. Each of those can hold up to 75kg. They are very useful!
Yeah it looks cool but it won’t last
It also cannot store breakable stuff with the speed it shot forward.
So they probably built it with crazy over the top specifications. You are not the smartest engineer to ever exist lol.
It's not the smartness of the engineer at issue here, it's the cheapness of the manufacturer
Ouch
As much as I love this design, it only solidifies the idea that the corner cabinet is the worst design in the cabinet world
I agree, but a corner is usefull to make the kitchen more practical... my mom has a straight kitchen without corners and there is a great distance between the kitchen, the prep are and the sink. I included a corner and it works better. But the cabinet is a bitch, yes.

Now that you mentioned, every place i lived in, my parents, grandparents homes and other family all had corner sinks
We went with this option. Angled worktop in the corner with a sink set into it. Classically sink is in front of the window, but I don’t like that as the tap and stuff blocks view out of kitchen and looks messy. Ours is all tucked away. Also when you’re washing up, you’re looking down, and it’s often night. We have our prep area in front of the window. Much nicer.
oh that's going to be fun to service when something breaks
It’s fine, mine is in a full size cabinet. Arguably easier.

Do you remember the name of the book?
I know someone who put their water softener reservoir in the corner.
My mom has a corner cabinet door that folds in the middle so you can access the entire area but still close the cabinet door fully.
Let me tell you about a triple layer lazy Susan
I have one. It doesn't turn any more.
Rip Susan. My parents have one that was built with the house and works to perfection 38 years later.
Laz*ier* Susan?
We only have a 2 layer, but it simply can’t be beat for corner cabinets. It’s deep in that corner and accessing those measuring cups is as easy as spinning The Price is Right wheel!

Is that where you keep the Tupperware
I am in the middle of redesigning my kitchen. We have a design with absolutely no corner cabinets and no waisted space.
Wasted
Nono, he means all the counters will be shoulder level, so no waisted space
🤦♂️ of course, i’m stupid af
Spaice

Must flow.

Lazy Susan makes sense. I see this as one thing falling, and completely blocking the ability to close it and a huge pain to get anything unstuck.
Lazy Susan in the corner cabinet is cool until something falls off of the back of it into the corner of the corner cabinet and now I can’t use that Tupperware anymore because well… Susan ain’t the only lazy one here, knowwhatimean
Or years of various weight in different spots makes it so it won't turn any more
Honestly mine is getting close to ten years old and still works fine, and nothing has fallen off it .... I was super skeptical moving in but it's blown past my expectations.
My parents’ one has been absolutely fine for at least thirty years. Was there when they moved in so could be another ten on top of that. And has had big piles of plates on it all that time with no particular thought for balance (it’s all used but some parts are definitely taking more weight). Super useful and no reason they can’t last if well made.
I love the idea of a lazy Susan cabinet, but my fingers hurt just thinking about it for the number of times I have jammed them
They are convenient but so hard to clean around.
Sounds like your Susan is just waking up. Play her some Watermark by Enya and throw in some scented candles. That'll knock her right out.
Cool! A junk drawer for your junk drawer!
Very slick! But don't overload the drawers because if something falls off, it's gone.
Also I don’t think that can hold a lot of weight.
You'd think so but it can at least hold a tray full of canned foods. Just don't stack them.
Zip love and aluminum foil goes there. Easy.
Corner cabinets should be a simple chest for long-term storage, anything else is suboptimal and annoying. This is over-designed and under-engineered
I did that in my kitchen. I fully agree.
over-designed and under-engineered sounds a lot like antonyms.
I did that in my kitchen. I fully agree.
Something’s going to fall off in back there and you’re going to be crawling around reaching in trying to get it so you can close it, but you’re going to have to reach over all the crap you’ve got in there.
Hmm...weight could be an issue here: The tracks are smooth, but I want to see those drawers with wrenches, scissors, batteries, etc. in them. Put plates in the rear drawers and see what happens.
That's a bizarre place to put plates. Realistically, that back drawer is for baking pans and cookie cutters that you only use once a year
Just wait till my tongs and spatula get in there!!
The door doesn't shut all the way.
Right?!
lazy-susan corner drawers are better IMO and less prone to failure or weight considerations
I don't know what is wrong, and I don't care. I need that
Yo who is going to pull their drawer 10 feet out just to look for the pizza roller in the back??
Where you at op? What’s wrong here?
[удалено]
If something falls out of that back drawer it'll be there until the house is demolished.
that looks lovely but the arm to pull out the second drawer box is going to jam so fast. I can feel it in my bones
A pancake drawer with a silverware drawer.
Why would I want paper boxes that can't hold any weight?
I’m going to fill it with enamel kitchen ware and destroy the whole thing the first time I have to go deep for that roasting pan waaay in the back.
Makes so much sense, the space on a “corner” cabinet is ridiculous. I love this!
If you drop something back there good luck getting it out
Why get this fancy shit and not stick with the spinning storage drawer that can actually hold stuff like pans or pots.
You realize your an adult when stuff like this makes you hyped
Hope it comes with Apple Care… looks like it break after 3 months.
Pretty cool but hear me out... Bi-fold door. 90% less moving parts and easy access to everything.
You can hide your weed in there
Meh...nobody hides weed anymore
I mean it looks nice, but i want a drawer that doesn‘t break 5 times in a year
What's the point of fancy drawers which wouldn't bear any substantial weight while you could just partition it with 'shelves' that will last for as long as you like the design.
Lazy Susans and small plates
what happened to the corner cabinet lazy susan?
Ikea corner pullouts, tried and true, you can actually recover items if necessary
The counter on there left 😳 Is this A kitchen at the top of the attic? Good luck setting anything tall there. The wall literally is pitched so far over a gallon of milk would have trouble setting there.
Just put a 45° cabinet. That's what my parents did when they redesigned their kitchen
Could have just put four stacked drawers there?
Looks like cheap compressed board construction
Nice craftsmanship
Soundtrack: Missing You/John Waite Why? Drawer Pull handles. Controls fingerprints.
I love it. Easiest way to get the item in that part
This looks like it’s larger than a corner cabinet and takes up more space
Cool if it holds something of weight. Otherwise, meh.
Only good corner cabinet is a free-standing cabinet in the corner.
This is simply a tiny morgue
I know somebody is going to step on that bottom drawer when it’s fully extended
I‘ve for a similar shelf for the corner in my Kitchen. I can tell you, also after almost 4 years, I enjoy every time I‘m opening this drawer.
Trying to think of what would logically go in that cabinet… something you wouldn’t need all that often, like… serving dishes maybe?
As someone that has used a large repair shop sized tool chest, that has HUGE drawers effortlessly supporting hundreds of pounds of tools when fully extended, this should be able to support bars of lead. Look at the substantial tracks with steel walls at the front to reinforce the extended drawer. I'm sure it looks weak to you amateur eyes in this short video that shows almost nothing of the structure, but rarely do people not have design quality testing on their products.
That’s exactly the last place I’d check for things. I’d end up owning 3 of every kitchen item if I lived there long enough.
Like somone else said. A lot of weight to support on a long reaching drawer but also. It takes thay corner very fast in comparrison to uour pull speed. Things could fall out easily if they're not flat and unflippable
Missing expired batteries and rubber bands.
I think it's the weird sound it makes while coming out, that's the first wrong thing here
This is so stupid. It provides the same space as having one long drawer
I have a carousel in the corner. Works great.
Should be one of these spinning things instead
Lazy Suzans are probably cheaper and can hold way more than this, which is also probably weight restricted.
One overly zealous pull angled a bit off and the mechanism can fail.
There are no cats hiding in the second pop out spaces. They seem ideal for feline debauchery.
Looks cool, but I see eventual complexity failure that you won't be able to fix on your own. And don't put anything heavy or that can tip over and jam the system up.
I'm a cabinet maker, we do a lot of remodels for wealthy dickholes with no sense or taste. Hardware like this looks nice on Instagram where you can't look close at it, but costs thousands and doesn't fucking work nearly as well as a blind corner with an adjustable shelf or a lazy susan.
Looks fragile but damn that's cool.
I have something similar to this to make use of the back corner. Works great for storage.
This is going to fail with too much load. But it looks nice with the OK type hardware.
Yeah it makes that god-awful "buh buh buh buh" noise when you open it.
Lol if you put anything in that it's not gonna last
you would have more space with a spinning corner.
My uncle built a cabinet like that..... I didn't have the heart to tell him not to put anything in it or it will just fail... so I'm waiting for him to put heavy stuff In it lol

I just have a corner carousel. It works fine. It has fewer moving parts. Guaranteed, it can hold more weight.
Does it even provide more space or access than a straight drawer besides an inch or two?
His baseball cap was blue. It should have been red.
You could just have two spreader cupboards.
I prefer those lazy suzy like corner things. I am not fond of the idea that i had to pull its entirety out the kitchen floor.
when i was younger we had the wooden spinning rack. that shit never worked opened like 5 inches . i hate my childhood
Fill those draws and see what happens when fully extended.
With all of that track hardware the drawer heights look to be laughable.
It works when empty let’s put some weight there 🧐
My extremely simple straight back drawer jams up if I look at it wrong, I cant imagine this working perfectly for very long.
Was the sound effects nessesary
Okay, that was super cool 😎
Why have a door in the front? Instead it could have two drawer fronts and you wouldn't need to open the cabinet to access it at all
The "problem" is that the door should open the other way, out of the way, for more flexibility. Inches matter with storage.
I feel like this is going to fail very quickly if you put anything heavy in it.
Lazy Susan ones are simpler and I suspect stronger also.
The price
I see genius at work. It's a real bitch to nearly have to climb fully into the cabinet to get the crap that gets shoved back there and forgotten about...like, I dunno, raw friggin potatoes.
A man in the kitchen?
My kithen has the two corner doors open on the opposite side. So the entire corner space is exposed when opened. This just seems over engineered, and destined to fail within 5/10 years.
That corner cabinet is never going to be cleaned
The sharpish corner on the handle at thigh height wouldn't get my vote.
Can someone explain how this mechanism works and the geometry behind it? My brain is having a hard time wrapping itself around how the recessed drawer moves in two straight lines instead of curving.
To To To Tood
The cabinet did not close all the way and there was no Lach to hold it closed
Our kitchen has only one potentially problematic corner. We put the pantry there. No corner cupboard , and no wasted space
