We've had sliding doors on our closets for the last two years (on two different closets, the first one fairly large with 4 doors, and the current one slightly smaller and 3 doors). Here are some of the cons that I can think of:
1) Hubby and I share the same one wardrobe, one side his and one side mine. When try to get ready at the same time in the morning, there are times when we have to wait for our turn to pick our clothes because you can only have one side open at a time. This was less of an issue with our previous wardobe. It had 4 doors, and you could open them 2 by 2. So everyone got to work on their own side
2) This also becomes an issue if you ever want to see everything in your closet at the same time - like purging, spring cleaning, reorganization, etc. These wardrobe doors will never open all at the same time - never.
That said, I like our closets and these are minor issues, if you actually like everything else about your new set.
Things to pay attention to:
I became aware that I open and close wardrobe doors waaaaay more than I realize, so probably adjust your calculations accordingly. I would also recommend that the doors have automatic stoppers (be careful with the fingers! ouch!), be fairly lightweight and easy to pull and push and yet sturdy because you don't want them to come off their hinges with frequent use.
They are really great for saving space, but you mention that it is not an issue.
Oh, and I have mirrored doors on my wardrobes and I like them!
I'll add if I can think of anything else.
