Entertainment Center Doors

[Lee Schierer]

I'm in the process of making an entertainment center and have reached a decision point on the interior doors where I would like some other opinions on appearance. There are four doors which will be sliding doors. I have made the carcase and face frame. The face frame has the rails running continuous across the front. My question is should the doors be made with with the stiles extending all the way top to bottom on the doors like the left hand picture below or the rails and stiles to match the face frame or should them be made like the right hand picture below?? Which way will look the best in your opinion and why?

I would make them like standard doors with the rails between the stiles. I thnk with the rails on top and bottom they look odd and a bit squatty.

the picture on the left is the way you want it. even if you do doors that open, like raised panel doors, the stiles go top to bottom. same with face frame.
