There are a few cons to consider before purchasing. Sliding doors can be an organization challenge because they only display half of the closet space at a time. Tracks can bend during use and wrestling doors out of their tracks can cause additional damage. However, replacing track can be very easy and affordable.

Sliding doors on soffits can be installed in any size opening, allowing full access to the space and providing a stylish division between rooms or to hide utility areas. The hardware and doors can be installed easily and with a moderate skill level.
