  • Easy and budget friendly DIY fix for those hard to see blind corner cabinets. This is a great solution for anyone looking to save money and access those hard to reach corners.

    You're a genius!! Way to go, you helped so many of us with those stupid blind cupboards, and we can't afford 500-700 dollars for the ones you buy. Thank you so much!!

    Your cat did a wonderful job of supervising. I think he wanted to get into the cupboard to really inspect the fit and finish. 🤔

    This is the same solution I came up with! The addition of some vinyl garden boarder lattice around the back and on one side of the drawer in the back will allow you to keep items from falling behind it.
    You could also buy or make two drawers the same size and then connect them like bunk beds giving you full use of the height of the cabinet as well.
    Well done!

    Great idea! It boggles the mind how these companies can charge such exorbitant prices for something so easily made. $400 for a pole and racks is obscene. Thanks for the great DIY idea.

    You could always put a double wire rack on back drawer instead of having to install a second shelf.

    Great idea. However side mount slides are designed for vertical installation. They will not hold any significant weight when mounted horizontally. Two slides would probably be better for long term use. Also I would warn to not lean on the front drawer when extended as it would bend the slide and it will never work the same again. Good job on the video and your addressing a problem that haunts us all.

      @jenniferjahns4006 4 роки тому +2

      this is what I was wondering, I kept looking for bottom mount ball bearing slides but they go on the sides. So 2 makes sense! Thank you.

    • @SuperLittleTyke
      @SuperLittleTyke 3 роки тому

      @@jenniferjahns4006 It's possible to buy ball bearing runners that can be fitted on the side OR on the bottom. Also, even with a few saucepans or skillets on the smaller drawer, they aren't going to be very heavy in total. Possibly if one had exclusively cast iron pots the weight might be an issue.

    I'm glad I found this. I am in the middle of building cabinets for my kitchen. Over all it is going good. I've been frustrated today by this corner cabinet I have. The area is too small for a reasonable lazy Susan, if I make it bigger I will not be able to center my sink over this window. Its unavoidable, it's just the way the wall works out. I would be happy to buy the expensive solutions but they don't look good to me and waste space. I like what you did. I can do it with what I have here. I am going to use your idea in my corner cabinet. I probably will assemble it with two shelves like you suggested. Thank you.

    Great idea! You could still add another drawer on top if you place a similar blind drawer, assembly, add bracers at the height you want the drawer, then leverage the second shelf into place. If you screw the second drawer into the braces and it should be secure enough hold the drawer without tipping.
