Okay, so I don’t think this should have been my first woodworking project, but I’m well into it now.
The idea was the create a book/toy shelf with built-in toy bins in the bottom for the little stuff. So I drew a rudimentary plan and got to work.

But I didn’t think through to the trim/face frame part. I’m rapidly approaching that stage and need some ideas.

These inside corners have been a real challenge for a guy just starting out.

Have a look at the picture and let me know how you would trim/make the faceframe for this thing. I was thinking of doing 1 inch stock around the outer edges and then the inside stuff would just be trimmed with some simple 1/4 inch thick stock.

Oh, and the top is still waiting for it’s final width…open to ideas on how to trim that sucker out too.
Thanks!

It is hard to tell with the picture. If this is plywood, why not just get some edgebanding. The proportions are nice as is.

Yes, it is plywood.
Originally I was going to just do edgebanding but then I considered how much more substantial it might look with a real face frame.
I’ll take that as a vote for edgebanding!

Thanks!
