Wasted space in corners has always been an issue. Lazy susans don't use all the space either and they tend to get overloaded and stuff falls off, hard to clean etc, etc. And the really good ones are expensive. Twice I have had the pleasure to install a countertop for a new cabinet maker/client who does it this way:

one case he used full extension slides and the drawers were just huge. This particular guy uses face frames. I'll take a picture next time I get to do a job for him. In the meantime, I hope this may help someone else's lay-out problem.

Too much wasted space there, big triangle behind the drawers and in the corners of the other two cabinets that is unaccessible. At least with a lazy susan you can set something in the wasted space.

Well, I think this is a great solution if you can waste the angled floor space. However, sometimes Robatoy's solution doesn't work. Our kitchen is rather small, and the counter is at right angles to the stove. There is only 2 1/4" between the drawerfront under the counter and the right edge of the oven door. Under that drawer is a lazy susan with 2 levels to maximize the space in the corner. Above the counter, the cabinet has a door that hinges, so it opens above the counter at both angles.

I've seen the same but with the door made in two pieces in and mitered inverted to fit the corner. You have to use under or over mounted slides. You loose some space up front but have a much more traditional look. They usually also divide the shelves vertically so you pull it out and look at it from either side.
a photo of a corner cabinet that looks like something my brother has in his house. Basically it is a base cabinet with a swing-out that drags a couple of drawers behind it. He doesn't know the manufacturer of his cabinets since they were in place when he bought the place.
Good design for a stand for a radial drill press or similiar oversized bench tool that normally lives in a corner, but occasionally needs to be pulled out for machining large workpieces.
That little bit of space on both sides of the drawer unit is a 'must- have'. Those corners are never right. Drywallers leave this nice 'thickness' to the inside corner. BTW, those drawers are 32" deep. Just huge. And with a solid set of full extension Accurides, will hold 200 pounds each. The angled sections to the right and left hold all the Tupperware.

Why do you think the operative phrase from my previous post was:

BTW, would have to send a ferret to get things from the back of a 32" deep drawer.
It's a ferret or an arm extension and I'm not quite ready for a motorized scooter, so I can't get a free arm extension as my consolation prize for testing one.
