What is the Difference between Kidney-Shaped and Pie Cut Lazy Susans

Lazy Susans for your corner cabinets come in several shapes and sizes. The most confusing of the shapes are the Kidney Shaped and Pie Cut Lazy Susans.

Kidney Shaped and Pie Cut Lazy Susans appear to be identical in shape but they are not. There are subtle differences between them and differences in how they are used.

Kidney Shaped Lazy Susans

Kidney Shaped Lazy Susans are used for “L”-shaped corner cabinets where the door is attached to the cabinet and the Lazy Susan moves independently of the door. The inner corner of the cutout area can be curved on some Kidney-Shaped Lazy Susans.

Pie Cut Lazy Susans

Pie Cut Lazy Susans are used for “L”-shaped corner cabinets but the main difference between these Lazy Susans and Kidney-Shaped Lazy Susans is that the cutout in the Lazy Susan is an exact 90° angle and the cabinet door is attached to the Lazy Susan itself. Therefore, when you spin this type of Lazy Susan, the door spins into the cabinet.
