I was thinking to ask you about these designers and their business silo. I'm getting pretty skeptical of these people. Had to be we had some sort of misunderstanding of the service they offered.
For some reason everyone we've seen about this has been utterly useless, don't seem to have any idea about wood or structure or how difficult a particular thing is. Like maybe lulling cattle to relax before they go in the zapper. They could only see in terms of everything new.
I couldn't tell what their angle was, they seemed to only be able to think in terms of the most expensive solutions. Move the doors? Extend the windows? Sunken floor? No way could their typical customers be so careless with money. Cuckoo.
I'm guessing the 'new kitchen' is all the profit and that's their raison d'etre.

Oh I see, so the doors would overlap vertically? Why vertical instead of horizontal? Doesn't vertical imply a spring or counterweight to avoid lifting the entire door weight?
What are the negatives you see with the Hafele sliders? Looks perfect to me. Now that I've looked at their plans the Hafele sliding door hardware bears an uncanny resemblance to the fancy store display panels...
Man this has been a helpful thread.
