I don't recall many in corners. My parents is a hutch in the middle of a wall. Mine is a hutch in the middle of a wall. Got mine for free to fill a space in the house. Had to fix it up some. I have things in it. Not super crazy things. Some extra sometimes second pieces, but 95%of what I have is dishwasher safe. Also it's where my alcohol lives. And my pint glasses and wine glasses. And some random decor. Overall it's handy storage.

I expect when my parents' is to be inherited, my brother and I will sell half of it, keep a few things inside it and then decide if one of us wants the hutch itself. We could probably try to sell it, but I don't think old school hutches sell for much. Mine was free after all even if it did/does need some care. There's a fair chance my mother just sells the actual china in it before she goes though. My mother has gotten keen on having less stuff. She always had been but she's been real gungho lately. Sometimes that means handing me stuff from middle school. Sometimes they means she just throws things out. Sometimes there's a box of stuff sitting out at their house and my mother says "take that stuff if you want it or I'm throwing it out after you leave". My father is the real life saver though since my mother will come to me with my old things from middle school 12 minutes before I leave and be like "these are yours" and I then have no time to look at it. My father will tell me "there's 3 boxes in this location. Look at them while you are here. Your mother will give them all to you if you don't look. If you want things great. If not, I'll throw them out, but I don't want you to have to try to fit 3 extra boxes in the cart at the last minute if you don't want to. You re here for 3 days, take a half hour and look through so you don't get caught out later. "
