Definition: A Lazy Susan is a rotating, circular turntable placed inside a cabinet or on a countertop to provide easy access to items stored in hard-to-reach areas.
Details: The Lazy Susan is a popular storage solution in kitchen cabinets, particularly in corner units where accessing items can be challenging. By rotating the turntable, users can access all sides of the cabinet without having to reach deep into the back.
Lazy Susans come in several forms:
- Base Cabinet Lazy Susan: Installed in corner base cabinets, typically in the form of two or more shelves that rotate. This is one of the most common applications in kitchen design, maximizing corner storage space.
- Wall-Mounted Lazy Susan: A rotating shelf mounted on a wall cabinet, designed for items like spices, condiments, or small jars.
- Pull-Out Lazy Susan: A variation that slides out of the cabinet on a track for easier access. These are particularly useful in deeper or narrow cabinets.
Lazy Susans are available in different materials such as wood, metal, and plastic, and they can be either manual (requiring a little push to turn) or motorized for automatic rotation. Installing a Lazy Susan is a great way to make use of awkward, deep cabinet spaces while improving the efficiency and organization of your kitchen.
This storage solution is an excellent choice for anyone seeking a functional, space-saving design element that helps keep kitchen essentials within easy reach.
