Farmhouse Media Console with Slat Doors

Build the box from the bottom and two side pieces. Because a top panel isn't used to hold the box square, you'll need to be extra attentive to make sure the face frames go on square in the steps ahead — there's nothing else keeping the carcass rigid until they're attached.

Build the back face frame first as its own assembly, then attach it to the back of the box.

Build the front face frame the same way and attach it to the front. Both face frames extend past the ends of the box by 3/8" — this overhang is intentional and gets trimmed out with moulding later, so don't try to make them flush.

Set the middle dividers in place inside the cabinet and drill 3/4" pocket holes around the bottom and side edges of each. Attach with glue and screws.

Attach the plywood back panel over the rear face frame.

Build the top as its own assembly first, then attach it to the cabinet with equal overhangs on the ends and front.

Build each door frame from stiles and rails and check it dead square before you add anything else — any racking here will throw off the slat spacing visibly across the whole door. Once square, install the 1x1 slats evenly across the opening, then hang the finished doors on the cabinet front with surface-mount hinges. Add the cabinet knobs to finish.
