Thanks for the information regarding attachment (apologize I had to send this as a new comment rather than as a reply to your response, as the website keeps telling me to type the two words even though I already did so and only recognized that when I posted this as a new comment). Nobody would ever see the finished wall and think "Hey I wonder if that is a door?" all in all i have about $350 in the project. I am not the best woodworker, and the materials ( mdf and particle board ) are less than optimum, and the walls are crooked, but the results were great. I also had to slightly round the horizontal pieces to slip underneath smoothly. The 4.5 inch trim left and right of the shelf-door, the right side is fixed to the fixed shelf, the left side moves with the door.I had to bevel notches in the trim on the right because the horizontal trim dives under it as the door opens. I used a credit card for gaps between trim and crown to allow clearance. Then I built the two side shelves and installed trim all around. ( If I did this again I would bring all the shelves out from the wall, making all full depth. In my design I made the swinging shelf 2 inch shallower than the other shelves to allow clearance behind it for the arc when it swung. Into the installed frame I built the first shelf box for the swinging shelf and verified clearance.
