Kitchen corner unit

[lesmeyer]

Hi,
I am busy with building and installing my own kitchen cabs. The corner unit in the breakfast island has a lazy suzan and I am now considering something different for the other corner unit next to the sink. I am considering the "WARICORNER swing pull out" that can be purchased from Lincoln Sentry for about $600.
Has anyone used this before or are there any other alternatives to this unit? This unit does not use a "srictly" corner cabinet, but is used in a nornal cabinet that extends into the corner.

Good choice.

If you are creating a blind corner then I would consider the Waricorner or any other type of "swing pull out basket system" a must.

There are few things more annoying in a kitchen than trying to reach down the back of a blind corner return.

I STRONGLY advise my clients to install lazy susans in floor corner units, and swing pull out baskets in blind corners - that is if they absolutely have to have blind corners, which is usually only a necessity thing.

Some other suppliers provide similar units from other manufacturers.
We get ours from Wilson + Bradley for about 2/3 the cost of the Waricorner.

In one of my crn units I put in a double stackable slideout bin unit -again Lincoln sentry so I have 4 bins rubbish,green waste, bottles and paper. Because they slide out you make good use of the blind crn and because there straight under the bench you can wipe scraps straight into the bin.
I think it was one of the better ideas I incorporated into the Kitchen.
Cost $80 x 2 = $160 total
EDIT You will need a 170deg hinge on the bifold so the door is out of the way.

Earl,
the Hettich international website has what they call the "Moving corner unit", but is not listed on the OZ site. Do you know what the unit from Wilson + Bradley is called? Looks like they are not in WA.

Les,

The Wilson + Bradley unit is listed as:

<TABLE style="BORDER-RIGHT: #f86707 2px groove; BORDER- #f86707 2px groove; BORDER- #f86707 2px groove; BORDER-BOTTOM: #f86707 2px groove; BORDER-COLLAPSE: collapse" borderColor=#660033 cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=3 width="100%" border=0><TBODY><TR vAlign=top><TD vAlign=top noWrap width=74 bgColor=white>WWCSUL21</TD><TD vAlign=top width=217 bgColor=white>WIRE CORNER STORAGE UNIT LH CHROME </TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>

I was just speaking with their sales dep. and unfortunately they don't do business west of Melbourne...a bit strange considering that is where they are based...but I am sure that they will ship one to you if the pricing and the product suit you.

Feel free to contact me for any further information.

Cheers,

Earl,
thanks for the info. I contacted them and they quoted $215 for shipping on top of $415+gst for the product. I can get 2 others in Perth now, the one mentioned above and also a unoi from Parbury at $540. Might go with the Waricorner at Lincoln Sentry as I also buy all the Blum Tandem 560H drawer runners from them as well. Maybe I can get a better price. Some sweet talking usually helps and in the past they gave me very goog prices on the drawer runners. These runners are undermount, self close soft close and are just the bees knees. I just completed 6 drawers using them and am very happy with the outcome. Using the Blum hinges and also the Blum bifold hinges has been a good experience. I know that the Hettich range is also very good. So far my experience has been that one should go with quality hardware.
