Step-by-step build — 5 steps. Also available as a print sheet.
Build the outline of the hutch using a combination of pocket holes (hidden on undersides) and 1-1/4" brad nails with wood glue.
The shelves and center divider aren't structural but still need to be tacked in place with brad nails and glue. Where you can't nail from the outside, angle-nail from the center instead.
Cut the 1/4" plywood back and attach it to all the 1x12 pieces with 3/4" brad nails, using the plywood to square up the whole case so its edges match the square-cut back.
Add the 1x2 top trim to the insides with wood glue and 1-1/4" brad nails.
Add the 3/4" nosing trim to the top front edge. If installing, tall pieces need to be anchored to wall studs to prevent tipping forward, and multiple modules should be attached together. Sand and finish.
