Corner cabinets can be found in almost every kitchen design (except those in the shape of the letter I). Their advantage is their packability, disadvantage - difficult access to supplies. Fortunately, there are ways to make these furniture easier to use and make even better use of their space. See what accessories will make it easier for you to use corner cabinets.
In corner cabinets we generally keep things we rarely need. Hardly surprising - this furniture, although very capacious, is also very inconvenient. Unlike, for example, pillars or kitchen cabinets, they generally have small fronts that make it difficult to access their interior and the supplies hidden in them. To find something in them, one has to bend down and rearrange a number of other items lined up on the edge. Some even use flashlights during such searches! So it is hardly surprising that corner cabinets are sometimes treated as a necessary evil.
And it doesn't have to be that way at all. Thanks to modern systems designed with corner cabinets in mind, we can literally slide their entire contents out into the middle of the kitchen and browse comfortably. Everything will be within easy reach and sight.
- The secret is corners, or pull-out baskets and shelves dedicated to corner cabinets. We divide them into two groups. Those designed for rectangular cabinets: Corner Comfort, Corner Front and Corner Optima, are set on very sturdy running systems, so they slide in lightly and smoothly, and at the same time - lift even heavy loads. Depending on the model, their full load ranges from 15 kg per shelf - Corner Optima to 35 kg for the entire Corner Front system. They are available in widths from 800 to 1,200 mm, which makes it easy to fit them into a given development. - explains Joanna Posadzy, Marketing Director of REJS, a manufacturer of furniture accessories.

Corner Comfort
Each of the three types of REJS corners carries different qualities. Corner Comfort is two two-tier baskets that can be fully pulled out from the cabinet body. The first one slides out first, then the one hidden in the depth. In this case, the cabinet front opens like an ordinary door. Corner Comfort systems are available in as many as 5 variants. Within the Maxima Classic line, they are made entirely of wire. This is a good option if you want to store pots, pans and other large dishes on them, or food boxes that require air circulation. Corners from the Maxima Evo line have a full bottom of white plastic, while those from the Maxima Silva line are made of graphite-colored furniture board. In this case, each of the baskets has side wire rails to keep items from slipping off.
Full side walls have Corner Comfort baskets from the Maxima PURO line. Here there are two color options to choose from. Corner can be white with sides made of transparent glass. Or it can be kept in fashionable black with inserts of elegant and pleasant to the touch oak veneer in a warm shade.

Corner Front
The second of the systems designed for rectangular corner cabinets is Corner Front. As the name suggests, in this system the front does not open like an ordinary door, but is attached to the first of the two-level baskets. In this case, only the first segment can be slid outside the cabinet body. The second remains within it, but slides smoothly from the depths of the cabinet toward its edge so that access to supplies is much easier. Maintaining order, as with the Corner Comfort system, is facilitated by optional internal organization dividers that prevent products from sliding and falling over.
Corner Front is designed for 900 mm wide cabinets. There are three styles to choose from: Maxima Classic, Evo and Silva. Corner Front does not appear as part of the Maxima PURO line, but instead offers the highest maximum load - up to 35 kg.
Corner Optima
On a completely different principle, the third of the REJS systems for rectangular corner cabinets works. Corner Optima are appropriately shaped shelves made of furniture board, which can be pulled out of the cabinet independently, like drawers.
Ergonomically designed and surrounded by a wire rail, the shelves allow optimal use of storage space and provide comfort. They are available in two color options: white and graphite. They fit 800, 900 and 1000 mm wide cabinets.

Square-shaped shelves for corner cabinets
Importantly, corners can also be used for corner cabinets with a truncated square shape. Here rotating shelves will work perfectly. They are mounted on a stable, centrally located rod attached to the top and bottom of the cabinet. The permissible load on one shelf is from 5 to 7.5 kg.
REJS revolving shelves are available in 3 variants. As a full circle, as ½ circle and ¾ circle with different diameters, which allows them to fit the type and dimensions of the cabinet. There is a choice of openwork shelves made of wire, as well as models with a full bottom made of furniture board in white and graphite.
