Landon's Toybox #4: An unexpected schedule change and some progress

Due to unexpected shoulder surgery that I will be having in the next couple of weeks, I had to change the joinery method. Since my time horizon has been shortened drastically, I can’t keep fiddling around with how I was going to make the frame and panel mortise and tenon joinery. So I decided to use pocket hole joinery instead, it is much quicker and if I want to get this done before I have the surgery, I figured this was the best way to go for me.
Since this is going to double as a sitting bench as well as toybox, I decided to make the four legs double thickness (2, 1×6” boards glued up) to provide the strength for the back rest. The legs are 5.5” wide, which I believe are to wide, I am planning on cutting them down to 4” wide to match the other boards, what do you think?

The panels inside the frames will be bead board, I originally planned to use my plow plane to cut the groove for the bead board but didn’t have the exact size. Plan B was to use my router, but I didn’t have the exact size router bit (9/32), so I ordered one Friday night, hope to have it soon.
Tomorrow, I plan to disassemble the front frame and cut down the two legs to 4”, then recut new rails to fit into the new front frame size. Then make the back frame assembly and hopefully screw it all together. I have already glued up the top, it is what the frames are sitting on in the pictures above. I still need to cut the top to size and smooth out both sides, I am also planning on rounding over the top’s edging.
