Planning on ripping out the old crappy cabinets that 'came with' the detached shop. Most likely going to be going with some sort of 'L' shaped bench in the corner, with overhead cabinets, lots of drawers down below, etc. etc.
One of the sticking points right now is working out how to address the corner base cabinet area. I'm not a fan of 'blind' cabinets, because stuff gets shoved back in there and forgotten about - partly because it's out-of-sight-out-of-mind, but also because it's such a PITA to get to - nobody likes getting down on their hands and knees headfirst into a cabinet trying to reach that last item stuck in the back corner.
I've seen a few alternatives thus far... the wire-shelf contraptions with the so-called pull-slide-pull setup, a half-moon lazy susan, a 'pie' or 'kidney' shaped lazy susan (with a bi-fold corner door), or angled drawers extending into the corner. Most of these seem to be a trade-off of ease-of-use vs. efficient use of space and/or ease of construction.
For those of you with built-in or base-cabinet style benches that wrap around an inside corner... I'm curious on how you have yours set up in that area. Was it by design? Did it work the way you expected? Would you do it the same or differently if you had the chance to do it all over?
