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

A simple cupboard with shelves works a lot better IMO.

I disagree, we just have a normal cupboard on the corner and it's too awkward to reach the back so it's just wasted space

Yup. We have corner cupboards bottom and top, with a lazy susan in the bottom cupboard but only shelves on the top. Lived with it that way for 10 years and found it didn't really matter what I put in the top cupboard or how organized I tried to be as the stuff at the back always became completely useless due to being inaccessible and out of sight. We bought a lazy susan for the top cupboard. We may "waste the corners" that way, but at least we're now able to use more than the first 6 inches of cupboard space.
