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.
Tools: Brad Nailer. Materials: 1/4" plywood for back, 3/4" and 1-1/4" brad nails
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.
