Corner cabinet shelf
1/3/17
Working on a kitchen that has 90 degree corner base cabinets. Client originally wanted lazy Susan's which we installed. After kitchen was totally done she now wants to get rid of the lazy Susan's and instead have adjustable shelves. Problem is there's no way to get the shelf in now. Anyone have a solution to this? Normally we would just take off the back and slide the shelf in but everything is installed now including the countertops.

Lots of glide in options, shelves that mount on the doors, and two piece shelves. No idea how your cabinet is constructed, the current door system, and if you have a face frame or not. So can't help you a lot more.

Frameless. Cabinet is 36 wide in both directions. Doors are 12" wide on a bifold hinge type thing. Customer wants full width full depth adjustable shelves.

For that exact same reason. We now put in two shelves. Chris crossing each other. Customers actually prefer this. Give them a bit more shelf space. We usually do 2 shelves but have done 3 for added space.plus we done have to install the shelf during the construction of the cabinet.

Dan's response triggered my idea. Just built half lap jointed shelves that get screwed together once they are in the cabinet.

Thanks for the ideas. I'm sure one of these solutions will work out. Much appreciated!

We have done the 1/2 shelf thing before, with a cleat underneath to tie them together once they are in.

I use 2 full width shelves. They are not screwed together. Say 1 at10" from bottom and one at 20" from bottom. This gives more storage. Screwing them together makes a weak shelf. Screwing them together is what cheap knock down cabinets are done.

I actually had this happen once too, I told her a LS is an adjustable shelf, with one advantage, it rotates. Never heard anymore from her.
