I like the look of panelled sides, but accommodating the cross grain bottom and top seems to require floating the bottom and top, as well as any fixed shelf. I have used frames to create strength, then I glue the bottom or top only to the front stretcher. I use a screw in an elongated hole to attach to the back stretcher.
Is there a better way? Does my way make sense? (By the way: all hardwood, so no option for plywood to avoid the movement.)
