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.
Even then it doesn’t make sense to wall off the space. People have things that they’ll almost never use again but don’t want to throw away. A tucked away space is perfect for that. Just cut a big hole in the sidewall facing the wedge area, now you have storage space you can reach when you take out the drawers.
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
Oh true, they’re really expensive though 😅. A better option would probably be to build one using standing desk legs, would need to wire in some sort of squash detecting safety cutoff however…

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
Yup. We had a house like that and I told me wife, "fuck it. make it a basic one shelf cabinet and store crap in it.

I’ve got the lazy susans! Three of them!! Ahahahaha!!!
Three? Wow. Susan ain’t lazy in your house.
Overly conscientious Susan.
Same! Four here. Such a good use of space.

This guy commented a bit lower with pics of what you mentioned. They look pretty cool.
