O.K. so I made a simple type error. 15" wide This is what I have in mind but installed under a 45" long counter top.

This is probably different from your situation, but I built a cabinet to store plastic containers for my grandson's toys. It is fairly large at about 42" W x 42"H x 20"D. It stores 12 containers. I was concerned about the finished weight and appearance if I used plywood so I made framed panels. I used 3/4" poplar and varnish oil finish. The intermediate shelves had frames only (no panels). It was a lot of work to make all those mortises. (If I did it again I would use dowels - much quicker). The cabinet is a hit with my daughter and grandson.
