A lot of people are commenting the drawer slide might not be strong enough to hold the door. It looks plenty strong. However, if it's not, the door could be remade much lighter, with cheap materials instead of plywood. Eg, paneling, insulation foambard, pegboard, etc.

This for me, I share this with others because there nothing worst as something being the way when there is little space. When a barn door opens it does not get in the way as regular opening closet door. After it opens it is still not in the way. Many situations of this type, the best answer is a barn door. A kitchen pantry, a small bathroom, a door that opens into the hallway that now no one can pass by until the door is closed again. 😮😮😮❤❤❤❤😊😊😊

Not trying to be difficult, just genuinely curious about the longevity of this project. Doesn't the drawer track get pulled out of alignment over time as the weight of the "door" starts to pull down on the tracks since it wasn't designed to be used with 15-20lbs of weight pulling down in that direction? Hope not, but really want to know how long this would last running smoothly like this.

[@paigenw.home19]

@@hanadr the slides we chose were for 250lb (so roughly half that for just one) and our door is probably under 50lb, but yeah the direction is a little different, so it’s possible it won’t last forever but worst case scenario the drawer slide breaks and we redo it with something else, and maybe have to buy a new mirror.
