If you could replace just one cabinet in your kitchen, which would it be? Most people answer this question by replacing the cabinet that houses the Lazy Susan. The Lazy Susan seems like it should be such a good answer to the space lost in a corner cabinet. It seems logical that you would be able to store more items on a Lazy Susan than in a corner cabinet where you have to dig deep into the dead space in the back.
However, Lazy Susan has limitations. One limitation is that because the Lazy Susan is designed to spin, anything that is stored on it must be stable enough not to tip over. The Lazy Susan also has limited storage because of its circular nature. It is hard to store lots of square items because they do not fit easily within the circular shape.
Benefits of Pull-Out Shelves For Your Home
Lazy Susans were designed to improve accessibility in corner cabinets, but they present common issues like wasted space, limited access and visibility, items tipping over, and difficulty in cleaning. This is where a Pull-Out shelf comes in.
The benefits of Pull-Out shelves aren’t just confined to the kitchen. These versatile storage solutions work in almost every room of your home. Whether you’re organizing your pantry, bathroom, or closet, Pull-Out shelves offer a host of advantages that Lazy Susan storage lacks, making them a necessity for every homeowner:
Enhanced accessibility
One of the biggest drawbacks of traditional cabinets, especially ones with Lazy Susans, is the difficulty of reaching items stored inside. With Pull-Out shelving, everything glides out so easily, and you won't have to stretch, twist, or bend to get what you need.
Maximized storage space
Pull-Out shelves are designed to maximize the available space in your cabinets. Whether you have deep cupboards or awkward corners, Pull-Out shelves help you make the most of every inch and can maximize your space by up to 50%.
Better organization
A Lazy Susan typically only accommodates smaller items, and you can’t see all of them at once. With a Pull-Out shelf, you can group similar items together, place smaller items in trays or bins, and easily see what you need without having to move anything around.
Customize Your Space With Pull-Out Shelving Options
With Pull-Out shelving solutions, you’re not limited to standard, one-size-fits-all options. Whether you’re looking to optimize kitchen cabinets, bathroom storage, or even your closet, there are a variety of Pull-Out shelf options regardless of what you need to store.
For homeowners who have heavy-duty items, such as large pots, pans, or cleaning supplies, heavy-duty Pull-Out shelves are the perfect choice. Some shelves can hold up to 200 pounds while still providing smooth, effortless sliding action.
Plus, we’ve all experienced the loud clatter of a cabinet door slamming shut. Pull-Out shelves come with a soft-close technology to provide a quiet, smooth operation every time you open or close them.
Say Goodbye to Clutter with Pull-Out Storage Solutions
Clutter is an inevitable part of life, especially in busy areas like kitchens and bathrooms. When you have a chaotic cabinet, closet, or shelf, things get lost or shoved to the back, and before long, your home feels overwhelming. Traditional storage solutions like Lazy Susans can often be the culprits behind this mess, leaving you with limited visibility and making it harder to find what you need.
Pull-Out shelving is designed to change that. These shelves allow you to pull everything out at once, making every item visible—from the smallest jar to the largest pot. With everything in plain sight, maintaining a tidy and accessible space becomes effortless.

Transform Hard-to-Reach Corners into Functional Storage
Many homeowners struggle with optimizing hard-to-reach areas, particularly with corner cabinets. These spaces often end up wasted, with only a small portion of the cabinet getting used effectively. Lazy Susans can be helpful, but they often don’t provide full access to these areas.
With Pull-Out shelves, corner cabinets can be completely transformed. You can install Pull-Out shelves that glide out with ease, giving you full access to the corners of your cabinets and making it easier to reach your essentials.
