Love the project, but Im very confused as you specifically said to use a solid core “slab” door, and the photos show one, but the material list calls out a 6 panel door which is not a slab door. Which did you actually use?

Sorry I think I posted my question in comments instead of here.
Im wondering about the door you actually used. The materials list calls out a 6 panel solid wood door, but you said you used a solid core slab door. Im not sure how a 6 panel door would work here. A solid core slab door would be how I would see it working.
I really want to use your idea as I love it! I dont know what to say about the negative comments as I dont see any of the problems they saw. Afterall this seems not necessarily to be a door you use everyday, but it still gives you the option to open it if you want or need to. Love it, love it, love it! Thank you!

The 5/8 inch measurement on the hinge is the diameter of the center pin where the movement is. -

I have a manufactured home and as we all know these walls are the best. I've decided to buy a TV to hang on the wall this gives me an idea buying a solid core door actually building a box putting it to the wall if I can find some studs hanging the TV on the door like they call them the barn doors and slides and behind the door put all of my movies that I have purchased any ideas open-minded person -

It looks great! I never know why there is so much negativity toward some projects. It's been used for 9 months with no problems, why should there be any now? -

I love this idea. But i think i would use plexiglas (thin stuff) and make the casing around the bookcase open and close.-

What happens when you forget to open the door slowly and all your things go sailing to the floor! It's cute but there would need to be something to secure the contents

The door is incredibly heavy, it was never a problem for us.

I love it! Good job! It adds a lot of area for display, and adds interest to a plain blank space

How do you keep the items on the shelf from falling off when the door is opened / closed?
