    You have to live in a very oversized house in area where space is extremely cheap to decide to just throw space away. Yes that wedge of corner space under the counter is inconvenient, but it would still be useful for things you only need to get to very occasionally.

      Spaces like that are more common than you’d think when it comes to countertops. Some older kitchens used that space for lazy Susan style rotating shelves, but you don’t see it much anymore.

        Might be because these corner sections don’t work if you want everything drawers instead of shelves. That’s the issue I’ve run into

        They should make spring loaded shelves that can rise out of the counter top for those spots: the lazy suzan things are better than nothing but still a bit of a pain when something gets in the way of it’s path out of the cupboard

      The blocked-off corner space is what happens when you buy pre-made cabinets instead of having them custom-built. (Unless the cabinet manufacturer happens to offer a dedicated corner piece, and the measurements work out such that it fits in your kitchen, I guess.)
