Years ago I built a pantry for LOML as there wasn't enough storage in the kitchen. It had pull out shelves on the right and a home made floor to ceiling lazy susan on the left. The problem was that things on the lazy susan would be pushed off the back, because I couldn't find a satisfactory lip for the 3/4" thick disk shelves.
I took the old one out and replaced the cheap paneling in the back and sides with dry wall. I attempted to make the walls perfectly plumb and perpendicular to each other so that fitting in the frame for the adjustable shelf supports and drawer slides would end up parallel to each other. Thus making the shelves fit anywhere in the two sides. I was off a little and had to add a shim to the frame on the left side to get the width spacing right. After putting in all the sliding trays only one right at the floor level doesn't self close.
I added a fixed self at the top and 10 full extension shelves. After putting everything in it looks like we could use 2 more shelf/trays so they are no on my to do list. The pull out trays are made from 1/2" thick poplar with 3/8" plywood bottoms. They are supported by Knape and Voght 28" KV8450FM soft close slides. The adjustable risers are QUICKTRAY™ ROLLOUT SYSTEM kits which make the shelves height adjustable in 2" increments. There isn't enough room in the hall way where it is located to get a straight on photo.

I purchased a double door pre-hung 6 panel door and installed a light switch in the jamb to turn the light inside on/off when the door was opened. The doors are held shut with ball detent catches at the top.
LOML ordered some wire racks for canned goods and plastic containers to organize food items in the new pantry and moved everything in within minutes of when the last tray was put in.
