Have you guys used sliding doors before?

I had a chance to finally integrate sliding doors in my latest project and I gotta say, I can see me using them again in the near future. It's a great alternative to fiddling with hinges.

    Signed up just to tell you that this is an amazing piece.  Love the contrasting drawers hidden behind the sliding doors.

    My grandfather (carpenter by trade) made a hutch with sliding doors.  He used 1/2 ply, though, and  the doors never tracked smoothly.  This design with a milled-straight frame should work a lot better.  I might put some HDPE under the bottom edge for smoothness.  How did you handle the smoothness issue?

      I make sure to wax the grooves every now and again to make sure it slides smoothly. It works well.
