Help with a corner cabinet

knitlove · 07-17-2015, 05:30 AM

Our new apartment has a turning corner cabinet.

I don't know what to put on it.

my first thought was dishes so the girls can put them away. But once I put them there it was clearly too much weight for it.

So what can I put there?

Mine has pot lids, large tupperwares, ice cube trays, and anything else that doesn't have a spot elsewhere.

mine has pantry/baking supplies -flour, sugar, oils, coco powder

Mine has onions, potatoes, open pasta, spare condiments oil groats, aminos acv & fish sauce, and if I have any cans of soup or beans that goes there too. (Don't normally have tinned soup/beans.)

I was wondering if my flours and/or oil would weigh less than the dishes.

Ok so I put the flour on it and it is creaking the same as with the dishes.

Should it still spin smoothly? Is it OK that it creaks and grones?

Hmm. Maybe it is not a sturdy cabinet. Mine is from 198something and does fine with heavy stuff. Something messed up with it once, but my husband fixed a part or something...
I guess if it can't handle heavy stuff you're left with, what, plastics and bulk herbs? :-(

The centre-piece of mine, where it goes through the hole, does look more substantial than yours.

Ya I don't know, we don't have plastic, and I normally freeze bulk herbs.

I think I may leave the canisters on it and see how it does. :/

My in-laws have one that is cereal, tea and cracker central. If I had one, I'd use it for "help yourself to snacks" foods for DD. She loves the spinny fun.

Salt, pepper, seasonings, spices, and non refrigerator things like ketchup.
