Pocket/Flipper Door instead of an appliance garage???

Has anyone put a microwave or coffee maker into a cabinet that sits right on the counter?

Here's my idea... have a cabinet built that would be a regular cabinet box minus the bottom so it could just rest on the counter. We would order the pocket/flipper door glides from Accuride or another hardware company.

My cabinets doors are full overlay Shaker style. The doors above the micro/coffee area go to the ceiling and will have beaded glass.

The 2 doors for this cabinet would have to be inset to work with the glides. I even thought about taking out the center of door and inserting punched tin in the center to finish it off.

If the KD says that he can't do it or the price he wants to charge is crazy then maybe I could just have that cabinet delivered without the doors being attached. That way we could do it.

Yes? No? What glitches did I miss?
