Hello everyone,
we are currently planning our kitchen.
We are looking for an optimal but also affordable corner solution for our kitchen layout. Maybe you can help me with your opinions to make a decision.
Solution options:
1. A carousel unit – concern: it might become unstable over time (also, my wife doesn’t really like this option)
2. A corner cabinet with fully swinging shelves – concern: it might become unstable over time
3. A corner solution where the entire corner pulls out – the most expensive option (according to the supplier, this cabinet alone costs 1,000 Euro)
4. A corner solution with just shelves – the cheapest option but waste of space and the rear area is hardly usable
Our preferred choice would be option 3 – however, the cost-benefit ratio doesn’t seem reasonable here.
I am leaning toward the cheapest option. I would hide pots or similar items in there, which are only rarely used (for example, a roasting pan for goose). However, it can also happen that items stored very far back are completely forgotten.
What do you think, and what are your “long-term” experiences with these solutions? Or do you have another approach?

The kitchen was installed at our place yesterday.
Corner solution to maximize storage space.
It definitely does not cost 1000 €, we only have pull-outs and similar features, no regular cabinets (except the one behind the kitchen island), and we budgeted around 5000 € for the cabinets in total, the rest is for appliances. Unfortunately, the invoice only shows the final price...

The carousel units don’t completely fill the cabinet since they are rounded, but you can reach everything. From above!!! Even the cheapest single-door cabinet at 60cm (24 inches) width can’t do that. Access from below and from the back is off-limits, especially for people with back problems. How is that supposed to work with a corner solution? I’d be able to reach maybe only a quarter of it.
Also, the rounded surfaces of the carousels hold many more pots and pans than the flat shelves in corner units with straight edges.ypg schrieb:
Corner solution to get everything out Which corner solution have you decided on? The carousel (which you favored in your first post) or the fully pull-out corner cabinet (that’s what I understand from the second post)?
I have always had good experiences with the pull-out drawers – both with my parents and myself – reasonably priced (I think), so I recommended them to you.
Now (since yesterday) we have the fully swing-out version (I had forgotten about that)... we set a budget limit of 10,000 for the kitchen person, half for appliances, half for cabinets – and they immediately planned this version... so it can’t be that much more expensive.

Of course, when you buy everything, completely different prices apply... but during planning, the kitchen specialist can see the individual prices... a corner base cabinet with MDF shelves and metal fittings costs almost 1000 as a single item No matter what’s on the list – the fact is what you have to pay!
