Post: RE: Finish for cherry

If you don't get all three as overhead doors, I would install a header for the third anyway. That case you could add the last door without much structural work.

I made a cabinet for a bathroom closet many years ago, that was for medicine, etc. I used polycarbonate plastic to keep the bottles on the shelves.
