A cabinet assembly includes a cabinet, a door, sliding hinge structures, a follower, and a mating guide. The cabinet is provided with a front opening. The door is configured to close the front opening. The sliding hinge structures operably support the door on the cabinet for pivotal and sliding movement between a closed position covering the front opening, and an open position uncovering the front opening and storing the door above the cabinet. The follower and the mating guide are separate from the hinge structures and operably attach an upper edge of the door to a front edge of the cabinet. The follower and guide constrain the door to a pivotal movement as the door is initially opened in a manner preventing a sliding guillotine-like movement when the door is initially opened.
