Sliding door wardrobe or hinged door wardrobe — which is better?

Sliding doors save the swing clearance, which matters in compact apartments, but you can only open one side at a time and the track collects dust. Hinged doors open the full width, seal better against dust and humidity, and allow mirrors or panelling on the inside. In humid markets hinged doors with proper seals are usually the better long-term choice; sliding wins purely on space.
