Galaxy Dove Lazy Susan Base Cabinets

Dove is the off-white that still counts as white — softer than a bright white, but on its own wall of cabinets nobody calls it cream. Its one weakness is a dim, north-facing room, where it can drift faintly grey, and the corner is the dimmest run in any kitchen because the wall cabinets shade it and the window is somewhere else. Under-cabinet lighting fixes that, but only at the right colour temperature. Warm lamps flatter the finish; anything at 4000K or above pulls it the wrong way, and a grey-looking door beside a white counter reads as dirty rather than warm.

The trays inside get no light either way; a stick-on battery puck inside the door is a ten-dollar fix and not a catalog part. What is in the catalog is the light rail and the rest of the trim that hides the strip under the wall cabinet, in the same paint. The Fabuwood colour guide explains the north-room drift in more detail, and the Linen vs Dove comparison shows the beige alternative that has the same problem with less margin.

Two facts about resale belong on this page. The first is that this finish photographs as a white kitchen and is listed as one; a buyer scrolling a listing sees white shaker with softer edges, which is what most of them are searching for. The second is that at the showing itself, the door a buyer opens is the corner, and if it spins, they say so out loud. A rotating corner is the single cabinet that turns “nice kitchen” into “they thought about it” in a walkthrough, and it does so for the price of one box.

Put that price in context. The displayed 10x10 kitchen in this finish, FGDV10, is $3,500.00; the 36″ rotating corner is $1,095.25, close to a third of that figure in a single cabinet. Against the other two corner answers it is $247.00 more than the fixed-shelf box on the same footprint and $328.25 to $481.00 more than a blind box that also gives back 9″ to 12″ of wall on each leg. The premium is real, and in a kitchen without an island of drawers — where the corner is the daily cabinet — it is the premium we would pay first. Our 10x10 pricing guide shows where the rest of that $3,500.00 goes.

• Both are square in plan, as deep along each wall as they are wide — 33″ or 36″ from the inside corner — and 34½″ high, with one door and rotating trays fitted at the factory. The next cabinet on each leg starts after that footprint.
• They are $65.00 apart. The 36 turns a larger tray, and the extra 3″ on each wall is the difference between a stack of dinner plates fitting comfortably and not. Take it unless one leg genuinely cannot give up 3″ more.
• No tray diameter appears on the listing. Get it from us or from Fabuwood’s spec book before you promise the corner to a specific pot.
• The trays are stocked as parts — GDV AS-LSB33 at $146.25 and GDV AS-LSB36 at $204.75, listed as adjustable shelves — so the moving part can be replaced in ten years without replacing the box. Check with us that the listed shelf is in fact the tray before it goes on an order.
• Only the door and face frame carry the paint. Inside, the trays are identical across every Galaxy finish; choosing the off-white changes nothing mechanical.

Heavy and flat on the lower tray — cast iron, the Dutch oven, the saucepan stack — and light and tall on the upper one, with nothing on either that rocks on a round base, because a rocking bottle walks outward as the tray turns and drops off the back where no door reaches. Keep the outer inch of each tray clear so nothing catches the face frame coming round. And accept that the four corners of the square outside the circle are not storage; anything tucked in there is behind the tray for good.

Both sizes arrive assembled with Blum soft-close hinges fitted, inside Galaxy’s 7-day to 3-week lead time, as one heavy cube that has to pass every doorway between the truck and the corner. The rest of the finish is on the Galaxy Dove collection page; the fixed-shelf alternative on the same footprint is the easy reach box, and the cheaper, partly hidden one is the blind corner.
