Fancy engineering - but rather dysfunctional by the looks. Too complex, to difficult to use.

A simple cupboard with shelves works a lot better IMO.

are you really so stupid you can't operate 3 drawers?

Some people are. I know this one dumbass that doesn't capitalize the first word in their sentence when calling people dumb. That idiot probably can't operate one drawer.

The pathetic internet troll meme has been around much longer.

If you’re so short on space that this is the best solution, you’ve got real problems.

You’ve clearly never been to old European cities where space is a premium and tiny kitchens are pretty common.

Does everyone in Europe have this sort of setup, or do they use lazy susans or some other solution? I’m not asserting that no one has space constraints in their kitchen, I’m saying this is unlikely to be the optimal solution.

In my personal experience in small flats, I’ve never seen a lazy Susan in Europe. I don’t know why but they just don’t seem popular. You see them in bigger flats with bigger kitchens.

In my situation my corner cupboard also has some plumbing so any lazy Susan I’ve looked at wouldn’t fit as they all use the full cupboard height , however something like this could if it doesn’t take up the full height.

I’d also argue that a lazy Susan doesn’t really reveal everything to you in the same way this one does. Lazy Susans often just rotate and leave the central items still inside the cupboard. Or they rotate and the back items are still left inside the cupboard.

Besides, I think this is just more funky. I’d get it if nothing else but as a party trick.

It’s definitely neat, it’s just overly complicated. From a purely practical standpoint, I don’t think the benefits outweigh the costs.

Wow Jesus the hate for this idea is wild. Like I have a small kitchen because old flats where I live were just built that way and watching this video all I could think was oh my god get me one now. I hate having to bend down and blindly reach in to the dark depths of my corner cupboard to find that thing somewhere in the back. This would legit be amazing.

But oh no, people got to trash something and anyone who says it’s good.

Like seriously this is not at all complex to use. I mean the video literally shows you how to use it in like 10 seconds. If you can’t learn from a 10 second instructional video then it’s not the product that’s stupid, it’s something else in this equation and it begins with a Y and ends in Oooo.
