I have seen these in person, they are pretty nice. Craftsman claims the load ability on this shelf system is highly rated.
If you live in an area with a lot of Sears around, I would check searsoutlet.comfor some deals. I have seen this corner unit available for less than $50. I was tempted...

By the way here is it is on Searsoutlet.com. According to the description they are severely discounted and pretty new. You just have to live in the area to pick it up.

I just use two regular shelving units of that style (generic, not Craftsman) butted up against each other in a corner, the low-low price of free saved hundreds of dollars.

in my shop i just kinda butted the outside edges together but left about a 8 inch space between them. i then used this space for long objects that i could put in there and lean up against the wall.

Ikea Gnorm heavy duty shelving has also a 90degree unit and is cheap.

I screwed 2x4's to the walls and cut some plywood to fit in the front corners of my garage. I put my jack stands on them, mix gas cans for the weed eater and chainsaw, chain oil, tie downs. It's nice 'cause they're easy to get to.

For the retail of $150 you can buy two 18"x48"x72"x5 shelf shelving units at Sams. I may corner a pair and if I do, I'd use 2x4s and some plywood to mate the units around the corner. I like the Cman unit, but not at that price. And the closest outlet store is Dallas - the closed the one here. 400 mile round trip at 3.50/gallon knocks the edge of a $50 price real quick.
LOL - on Sears.com it gets a two star because the directions are "hard to read". Looks complicated from the picture...

From the pics looks like you can flip it to make it flat. However it would help to see it in person...
Like another post, I have also read the reviews about difficulty with instructions.
However if the people at your local Sears can set the display up it shouldnt be too much of a problem....

If people are into higher end cabinets, here is a new corner cabinet from Geneva.

I wouldnt be surprised if Gladiator Garageworks follows suit. They look almost the same sometimes.

Just another idea...
How about utilizing that corner for something like a lazy-susan turntable? They work good in kitchens. If plenty of height is available, I would be tempted to build a tall rotating rack to hold 8' sticks of raw stock. The home improvement stores sometimes display their aluminum and steel stock in these.

It looks like the front shelf supports would get in the way for larger objects.
I used 2 Gorilla Racks and butted them up to one another making an L in the corner. One slid all the way into the corner and the other pushed up against it. There's an upright in the center where they meet, but it doesn't really get in the way and the shelf goes all the way into the corner making useful space. I've also done in one corner what mbshop did with his and left it "open" for brooms, mops, etc. Keeps them from taking up "valuable" wall or floor space elsewhere.

So if it is 33" wide and 33" deep, I would ask how deep it really is not at the slant. Also, how wide is the center opening. If you have a standard countertop around 30" deep to either side of this thing, it would seem to be quite recessed if up against the corner.
I like the idea of a lazy susan in the shop. Be perfect for storing some bins of hardware and electrical and plumbing parts.
I might have a stab and building one.

My suggestion would be to build your own. That way you get exactly what you want and they fit perfectly. If that isn't an option, then those corner units look like they would do the job. I'm sure they can be found by other, less expensive brands. Good luck with the project.

- any chance you'd take a swing @ manufacturing your own?
some 1/4 " angle and 14-16 gauge sheet metal & then you will have no need for the front braces that are going to be obstructions.
if you are very resourceful you could even make them height adjustable

Corner cabinets by GSC can be found here: http://www.garagestoragecabinetsystems.com/SS/page27.html. I have them installed in my own garage and love them.
Hope this helps!
