Along with the addition of the Composite Shelf Veneer, we've added the option of integrated door guides into the design of the CSSU. Previously, doors have been added via a rail system on the face of the units. Both have their charms, but with the additional thickness that the veneer adds, making channels into the shelves themselves becomes more of an option.
I've prototyped two units with single and double (top/bottom) doors to illustrate the idea and test the strength and we're good to go. Pulling this off on a shelf without the veneer topper is possible, but the doors will not ride quite as deep... but it's possible. Hit me up for details.
The front rails still provide a classic and very versatile option and add a nice bit of solid wood to the piece, but as a cost-effective and streamlined option, the Integrated Guides could be a great choice.
