   The kit comes in pieces... basically you'd tilt the shelves sideways thru the opening and lie flat on the bottom.  Then slip the 2 piece pole thru the holes and attach at the top.   Then slide the shelves up and attach to the pole.

   Trimjim's description matches with my understanding. Think in terms of building a ship inside a bottle. ;-)

   Hey Trimjim and Ralph,

   Thanks to both of you for your response and suggestion!  And I'm happy to climb into the 'bottle' to put it together.

   Only...what kit are you referring to?  The ones I've seen (like Rev-a-Shelf) have whole, complete circular shelves.  And a 32in whole circle won't go through an opening that is 11in x 27 1/2in.  A 28 in shelf would go (barely), but That's pretty small in a 32in cabinet.

   Is there a kit that has the circular shelf in 2 pieces that I could assemble inside the box?

   Thanks again for taking the time,

   GGB

   I'd check the interior dimensions of your corner shelf against those shown on the Rockler page:http://www.rockler.com/product.cfm?page=63&filter=kitchen%20shelvesGetting the shelves through the opening is a matter of taking advantage of the short dimension across the "pie" cut.

   An inexpensive and simple way of going about this is to buy some of those thin lazy susan ball bearing metal units to lay on the existing shelves. Then you'd build round plywood shelves to go on top of the lazy susan units.

   Unless the existing cabinet doesn't have shelves, this is about the easiest way to wind up with lazy susan shelves in a cabinet.

   It does not have a middle shelf; but I may install one now.  I'm not sure how strong the center pole types are and bottles and canned goods can add up to a lot of weight.

   But I'll have to think it through carefully; get everythng into the box before installing the shelf; which will make the front opening half as big.

   THanks for your thoughts!

   Thinking of taking this up as a hobby - so far I have collected 2,763 rum bottles.

   I started out with nothing...and I still have most of it left!

   The bottle collection may limit the types of ships that you can build. Wouldn't those bottles limit you to rumabouts? ;-)
