| Hi everyone, I'm trying to decide between 2 options for the upper corner in my L shaped kitchen.. One option is piano hinged doors at 11" each approx.
The other option is a blind corner and the door would be almost 23" wide. How wide is too wide? It is a very small kitchen.. |

| I'd want the hinged version for better access. Would you feel like you had to back up when opening a 23" door to avoid hitting yourself in the face? |

| Don't do a 23" door. My 24" uppers have single doors, and at 21" wide, they are one of the things I can't wait to replace! They're very much in my face when opening and closing them, so awkward to use. I'd go for the piano hinge style. : ) |

| Does the "piano hinge" just mean "hinged?" We have a hinged corner cab that is great. 23" sounds crazy. |

| I am worried that it may just be to wide. I guess another option would be to keep the blind corner but maybe have a smaller door and add a cabinet door. (if that makes sence) I'm not sure I like how piano doors open either... |

| Yes it means hinged , lol I don't know why I call it piano hinged... Thanks for the picture, I'm really stuck on this decision... |

| What do you plan to store in the corner? If it's prettier things, maybe open display would work better, and you could skip the door(s) all together. |

| Gosh, I love my corner cabinet (which is much like drbeanie's). I also have a cab (not in a corner) that is 24-3/8" wide. I opted to put two ~12" doors on it. |

| Oh, and this is what it looks like when closed. |

| I agree with laughable. I have a 24" upper that has a 21.5" door. Always seems to require a step back when opening, or leaning to the side to not hit my head when opening. HTH,
