Hafela (Haefela, Hefela) offers several different corner cabinet pull out drawer systems. We installed the LeMans and the Magic Corner one in two kitchens. Here are some things to consider when choosing between these various pieces of hardware.
1. Careful measurements of the size of your box and the size of your opening are critical. The LeMans requires less space and is easier to install than the Magic Corner.
2. The door swing for these two systems need to be toward the cabinets on the other wall of the corner. This means that if your door is on the wrong side, your installer will have to reswing the door. It will require patching a whole where your handle was or require a new matching door -- which can be a lot of work.
3. The Magic Corner II opens differently so that it has the opposite door swing -- the door swings back toward the cabinets on the same wall. The issue we had with the Magic Corner II was that it required a larger cabinet opening than we had.
Below you will see pictures of Hafela LeMans install. The owner is not overly pleased with it, but her nanny likes it alot. This might indicate that it's helpful but not seen as a good value to this particular owner. Prior to installing this unit, this corner was not being used at all; now it clearly is being used. The limiting factor in this cabinet which is 19.5 inches tall is the height. In a taller cabinet, the LeMans would be able to carry more on its top shelf.
This top notch hardware is not inexpensive. With install it ranges from $975 to $1300 depending on the particulars.
