I thought you might enjoy seeing a project I did last year: a Pantry Cupboard I built awhile back:

It is 80" tall, the Carcass is simply 3/4 Birch ply from the Borg, with crazy grained maple face frames and door rails/stiles. Simple flat panel doors per SWMBO, er um, the LOML. I used woodnutjohn's CMT rail/stile router bit set to make the doors. I used hinges from Rockler, made my own door handles:

The upper section has storage cubbies for smaller items:

the center section houses the toaster oven and microwave, but I originally intended it to house a larger microwave.
The bottom section has two shelves, spaced tall enough to allow cereal boxes etc.. to stand upright with the tops open (my kids NEVER close the box back up, so I planned for that, nothing lasts long enough with three growing boys to go stale)

I forget the exact name, but it was all stained a golden honey maple color, with several coats of sprayed water based poly over it .
