Closet doors: mirror or wood?

[Jumpem]

What would you choose for bedroom closet doors? Four sliding mirror doors or four bi-fold white wooden doors?

If you want it to look outdated and tacky, go for the mirrors.

sliding doors on closets are just awful. never again.

 

[DrPizza]

Mirrors like that are tacky.

'Folding' and 'sliding' are the same thing.

As in, they're both doors on a track. And both of their inventors should be stabbed in the face.

Hell if I care if my door is 'tacky' or not. I just want it to not fall on me when I try to open it.

Faux wood is better than mirror.

 

[Capt Caveman]

If you want the tacky or porn look, then go mirror.

 

[IronWing]

If you decide later you can always add a mirror to a wood door.

Its common sense that bifold is the superior design. Slide only allows access to half the closet at once.

Meh I like mirror. Nice ones though. Never know when you are gonna want to bang a chick and see it from different angles..

 

[phucheneh]

Mirror makes sense for the lazy single male with a utilitarian bedroom, who is generally not going to hang a dedicated mirror anywhere else. Add to that a possible lack of a full mirror in the bathroom, and meh, it's functional.

Tacky? Go use your queer-eye to ogle some men and leave me alone.

Slides are the downfall of both designs. But the one that is dependent on a single, poorly-designed screw to hold the whole damn door up...bah.

Maybe some ATOT-level solid mahagony folding castle doors are designed with better rails/mounts.

Pocket doors, know them, love them.

I would not have mirrored doors with children in the house, unless the mirrors were of shatterproof material, since I know of a tragedy of the worst kind caused by a sliding glass door.

Some people have very small bedrooms, and sliding doors allow placing the bed closer to the closet.

Mirrors on closet doors look very trashy and low class, IMO.

Mirror door for the boom chica wow wow.

God damn you and your brilliant posts!

But yeah, unless you have mirror ceiling, for mirror doors. Sexy times without mirror just isn't right!

Minor threadcap: I have sliders on two closests and am interested in swapping them out. These are fairly large openings, what type of replacement would work in them?

This.
I have them in my place and it's one of the few things I have left on my list to change. I think they look dumb.

Care to elaborate? I'm trying to picture a possible scenario, but I never heard of any risks that have to do with sliding mirror doors. The only thing I can think of is out of a James Bond movie, The Living Daylights, where a man was killed by a remote control sliding glass door programmed to slam shut as he walked through.

How about...pocket mirrors?

You could do a french door setup. Might be a bit of a pain, but it will get rid of the sliders.

Yeah Im curious as well. Do tell do tell

Next time I'm in the store I'll need to look to see what they carry, don't recall seeing interior ones before.
