Sizes assume a separate toe-kick base, full-overlay doors with a 1/8" gap between them, and a back that sits in a 1/4" rabbet. Change any dimension to suit your design.

The sides, bottom and doors keep the face grain running vertically. The stretchers and shelf can rotate to fit wherever there is room.
