I've got one in my master bath as well. It's never had an issue and it did
solve the problem of where to physically locate the door. The bifold doors that
somebody else advocated are a real pain in the ass. They're always coming off
the track or the angles get off and it won't close completely.
As an aside, I remember the first time I ever dealt with a pocket door: it was
in the General Von Steuben Hotel in Frankfurt, Germany when I was about 6 or 7
years old. I thought it was the neatest thing since sliced bread.
