How much depth is needed for this door - I'm trying to use this to hide a door. wondering how much space I need to allow for this "doorway/bookcase"? »

Nick Mehl Architecture It's a custom made bookcase with a piano hinge, so the depth is whatever you want to make it. I'd say the minimum would be 9" if you want to keep it a bookcase. This one happens to be 12" deep.

Emily Hurley What an amazingly cool feature.

I don't know how they constructed this particular door, but I believe I have seen this kind of thing in the past with tiny wheels concealed on the bottom to help distribute the weight and make it easier to move.

Nick Mehl Architecture That's exactly correct. Tiny wheels distribute the weight. Kids love this kind of stuff!
