A "lazy" susan is the one with a center pole. A "super" susan is the one with no center pole and with "turntable" type shelves mounted on stationary shelves. There are pros & cons to both. Pro(s) to both: It's very easy to access whatever is stored in it...everything is in front. All you have to do is rotate the shelves and what you want is right in front of you! If something does fall off (in the cabinets w/out a curved wall, more on that later), it's much easier to get to the item than if you have a blind corner cabinet and something falls off. With a blind corner, you have to reach (if you have very long arms) or crawl into a cabinet that's deep inside a "blind" area. [This reason plus the fact that many of the blind-corner hardware/inserts meant to give you some usable storage do not last is one of the reasons my KD discourages blind corners of any kind.] Granted, you will have to take things off at least one of the shelves with a susan, but you won't be trying to blindly reach deep inside a cabinet that's "recessed" into another one. Note: The pie-cut type cabinet (90-degree angle instead of diagonal front) gives you better access to contents than a diagonal opening. It also gives you more useful floorspace and counter frontage, less of a "closed in" feeling (particularly in small-to-medium size kitchens), and less inaccessible deep corner space. Pro(s) to a lazy susan: Biggest pro, IMHO, is that the walls of cabinets designed specifically for lazy susans follow the contour of the round (or pie-cut) shelves so closely that I'm not sure even a grain of rice could fall off the shelves. Another big pro, again IMHO, is that if you have the pie-cut type, the doors can be attached to the shelves and rotate into the cabinet when you open it. No doors banging the adjoining cabinets...something that can be an issue, especially the doors that are two pieces attached with a piano hinge with the doors flopping about. Pro(s) to a super susan: No center pole in the middle to limit the size of items you can store on a shelf. No center pole to block access to items. Con(s) to a lazy susan: Has a center pole in the middle that limits the size of items you can store on a shelf. The center pole could block access to items. However, all you have to do is rotate the shelf and no more "blocking"! Con(s) to a super susan: Walls are usually not (never?) curved to follow the contour of the round shelves. This is the biggest con, IMHO. Doors cannot be attached to the rotating shelves so the doors must be opened b/f accessing contents, You also have to be careful the doors do not bang into adjoining cabinet(s). Most corner cabinet units/hardware, BTW, cannot easily be retro-fitted after the cabinets and countertop have been installed.

Dearheart, if you do a Google search, including the word "Gardenweb", you'll come up with a ton of pictures of these super Susans and other corner contraptions. This comes up so often people don't seem to bother to look. You can ask questions of the original thread posters about their experience, issues, likes, dislikes, etc. They've had the benefit of time since they originally posted and that might help you.

Looking at mine, if a couple of conditions are satisfied you're probably okay. 1. If your susan is not asymmetrical. Mine is a 36x39, so one of my hinged doors is 11" and one door is 14". If they are the same width, this will be good. 2. If your door style is symmetrical vertically (ie: no arched tops). 3. If you have euro hinges, and boxes with holes predrilled (usually on each side as then the boxes can be used with R or L door mount). If all these apply, I don't see why you can't just reverse the door (remove door, turn it 180 degree, mount the hinges on the other side of the box opening).

I was at a kitchen display this week and they had a super susan set up differently. There was a piece of plywood (maybe 12"x12") installed on the shelf which acted as a spacer. The bearing hardware for the susan was installed onto that spacer. This lifted the storage platform just enough for a single roller catch with a mating metal "detent" (for lack of a better word) to be installed below the platform. I'm having a hard time describing this well, but it was quite simple. You wouldn't need a specialty bearing with an integral detent for this, just adjust the seperate catch/stop unit to the proper position. Unfortunately, I didn't find the hardware they used with a quick google, but thought the info might be useful. Good luck!
