We built a closet-style pantry in our kitchen and needed sliding doors due to the space, but wanted to avoid a typical closet door type of look--these doors fit the bill nicely! Items inside don't show through the opaque glass. We painted the finish to a brighter white to match other wood trim and cabinets, which necessitated good coverage with a Kilz type primer first. The doors are usable without hardware but I'm finding it a bit awkward so plan to add those.
