why are magic corners so expensive? (pull out storage for kitchen cupboards)

Hi all,

We have two end long corner cupboards, one left and one right, the end bit is dead space as you cant get to it easily so i'm looking to get two pull out storage units.

But i can't believe how expensive they are! even on ebay they are about £150 to £200 each! :eek: All they are are metal baskets on a pully tray thing!

Has anyone got any cheaper alternatives that i could look into?
Make £10 a day challenge March 2013 £101.24 / £240 :j
WSC 10 March - £0 / £5
Debt £17,294 - 7th March

    ask the local college (engineering dept) to design and build you a pair, as a project.
    you buy the materials.

    Mine has a couple of semi-circular trays, which swivel out. Seems to work quite well. I think that there are many different ways of doing this, depending on which manufacturer you use.
    I can afford anything that I want.
    Just so long as I don't want much.

    Ikea do some cheaper pull out fittings. There are some slim pull out baskets & some semi-circular units.
