Actually, I'm living in an apartment, so doorways was a concern for me, too. So I modified the plans a bit and the thing is can be fully disassembled for easy movement.

I actually just took it completely apart so that I could paint it better. Plan to reassemble it in the apartment, and do the last few cosmetic things there.

Yeah, I got lucky. Bought it from another member here who had stalled out on his project. I don't have the remote, but I don't really need it anyway.

Bobulus:
Well, it's been a long time since I posted in here, hasn't it?

No, I didn't give up, it just too a very long time to paint the cabinet. Had some trouble where the primer I put down never dried properly (even after months in a properly temp-controlled, humidity-controlled environment). You could handle it without a problem, but if it touched any surface for more than, say, thirty minutes, primer would start transferring! Had to put multiple coats of black semi-gloss over it to cover it properly. Should never have used a primer in the first place.

Combine that with the fact that I could only paint for about an hour a week, and didn't have enough space to paint more than a couple pieces at a time, and, well, it took nine months to paint!

To make up for the long delay, here's a sped-up video of the reassembly after painting.



Only trouble: The paint added just enough thickness that my door catches quite a bit now. It'll be scratching up my paint unless I take it off and sand off an 1/8 of an inch or so of wood.
