2Attach Plywood Edge
Drill five pocket holes along one long side of the Plywood Edge. Using wood glue and pocket screws, attach the Plywood Edge along one side of the Base.

- Drill two pocket holes on one 9 1/2" and one 11 1/4" side of each Cubby Side. Using wood glue and pocket screws, attach two of the Cubby Sides on the far edges of the Base and the other two Cubby Sides spaced out depending on your needs.
4Attach Vertical Beams
