Step-by-step build — 7 steps. Also available as a print sheet.
Drill three pocket holes on each end of every shelf board. Attach to the sides, spacing with a 14" block as a guide — top shelf pocket holes facing up, all others facing down. Add the tower bay supports flush to the back at the top. Build two identical towers.
Build the center console the same way, with top pocket holes facing outward to be hidden by the towers, and the center divider's pocket holes facing away from the room if possible.
Attach the center bay supports to the underside of the center shelves, then attach the center shelves and bay supports to the towers. Secure the whole assembly to studs in the wall.
Measure and cut the face frame top/bottom trim and stiles to fit the assembled unit. Attach with brad nails and glue, filling nail holes and sanding smooth.
Build the door frames from the stiles and rails with pocket holes. Nail the plywood panels to the back of each frame with brad nails and glue.
Attach the door hanger hardware to the doors, hold in place to mark the rail location, and install the rail, checking it's level so the doors don't drift.
Sand all surfaces and apply primer and paint, or stain and poly.
