Difficulty: Moderately Challenging

Instructions

1. ** Decide if you have the budget for a good quality Lazy Susan **
   
   Corner cabinet lazy susans come in all price ranges, but many people are disappointed with the low cost lazy susans. Those that are inexpensive are often not made well and will break easily, are hard to turn, get stuck easily or are too small to make them worth the while.

2. ** Understand the downsides of a lazy susan **
   
   A lazy susan is good in theory, but there are downsides as well. First of all, because of the rotating plate, there is space wasted in comparison to a simple shelf. Second, items often get stuck while rotating making it difficult to use. Third, if items are stacked too high, they can jam the rotation. Additionally, items can fall on the sides or under the lazy susan making it stuck completely. Finally, because items rotate, you cannot put delicate or breakable items on the lazy susan that could break if moved around.

3. ** Measure out exactly how much space you have before ordering a lazy susan **
   
   A lot of people forget to take into account how much space is wasted by the middle section of the lazy susan and are disappointed once it is installed of how little space they actually have. Also, many people are disappointed when they see how much space on the sides of the cabinet are wasted. So be sure to measure out before you order how much space the lazy susan will give you and compare this with items you were planning on storing on it.

4. ** Consider a Lazy Susan without the bar in the center **
   
   You can buy a lazy susan which does not have the bar in the center. This design is often referred to as the super susan. Using the super susan, you will be able to use the entire area instead of just the area surrounding the center bar.

5. ** Consider partial Lazy Susan **
   
   There are various types of pull out shelves which are variations of lazy susans which you should consider. These are meant to build on the strong sides of the lazy susan, but avoid their downsides. These are often known as half lazy susans, half moon lazy susans or simply pull out drawers. Each is different, but the basic design is instead of a whole circle, as the traditional lazy susan, it is only a partial circle. This makes items fall less, makes better use of the space and makes the lazy susan easier to use.

6. ** Consider a custom lazy suzie for your corner cabinet **
   
   If you have the money, then you a custom designed lazy susan can be your best bet. A custom designed lazy susan will let you choose the size you want. You will be able to select the dimensions of the space you have to maximize the space of your cabinet. You can also choose the type of lazy susie you want (i.e. standard, half moon lazy susie, super susan, etc.)
