Modern Two-Drawer Nightstand

Rip the 3/4" plywood into 15-3/4"-wide strips and cross-cut the top, bottom, side, and shelf/divider pieces to length. Drill 3/4" pocket holes facing upward in the top edges of the front and back aprons now, while they're loose and easy to clamp — you'll use these to attach the box to the base later.

Pocket-screw and glue the top, bottom, side, and center shelf/divider together into a simple box, open on the drawer side. Attach the front and back aprons, then nail the plywood back panel on square — it's what keeps the whole cabinet from racking.

Join the four 10°-angled legs with the side and front/back rails into a base frame. Because the legs splay outward, dry-fit the base and check it sits flat and stable on the floor before you commit any glue — an angled-leg base amplifies small cutting errors more than a square one would.

Set the box on top of the leg base and drive screws up through the pocket holes in the aprons into the base rails.

Build two drawer boxes from the 1x4 sides and fronts/backs, glue and nail on the plywood bottoms square. Install the euro slides on both the drawer boxes and inside the cabinet per the hardware's instructions, and hang the drawers — check they roll smoothly before moving on.

With the drawers hung, attach the drawer faces to the fronts of the drawer boxes with screws from inside, using spacers to get an even reveal around each face before driving anything permanent. Add pulls, sand every surface, and finish.
