I replaced my old mirror sliding doors and previous built-ins with an open, simplified storage system made out of beautiful White Oak. The total budget of this project was a little over $500 for all of the materials used, ($800 for the mistake) and took about 4 weeks on and off to complete. This is the first time I've built something like this, and I ran into a few challenges along the way. Nevertheless, the results I couldn't be happier with. Questions?
