New kitchen/ carousel cupboard

Not sure what to do. We bought a new kitchen and as I had a carousel style corner cupboard in the old kitchen I choose this style again.
But- this carousel is quite small compared to the huge cupboard. It has a bottom part and a top part (which is in the middle of the cupboard and seems to waste LOADS of space. But it is the right size as I've checked with the kitchen company.
I'm considering taking out the bottom turntable of the carousel and just having a normal cupboard floor - While still having the middle part of the carousel half way up- in the middle of the cupboard.
Or should I remove the top/middle turntable and have a normal shelf half way up in the cupboard? My brain can't seem to figure out what's the most sensible thing to do re storage and actually getting to the stuff at the back of the cupboard..
sorry it's a bit of a luxury problem.. Blush

I had a carousel in my previous house, and the turntables were as big as the cupboard. I've got a corner cupboard without the carousel this time and it gets in a right mess. Would it be possible to have a middle shelf that's only maybe half the depth of the cupboard, so you can still access stuff that's on the bottom?

I have just emptied and cleaned a cupboard with a carousel about the size of the cupboard and quite honestly I don’t know if I’d have one again as it was so awkward. My daughter however has a swing out shelf in her corner cupboard, fairly newly built house it seems a much better option

The swing out shelf is the size of the cupboard I you know what I mean

We have a magic corner metal shelf/basket thing in our corner cupboard. I think it's great and had one in a previous kitchen.

L shape corner cupboards work well with two offset shelves, not too deep. You can pack quite a lot of different sized things in.
