Using our online cut list and a circular saw guided by a straightedge, cut plywood backs, walls, bottoms, and shelves to size for one large and two small boxes. Use a router to make ½-inch slots on the inner walls where shelves will slide in.
Pro advice:
"If you don't have a router to make slots for shelves, you can screw 1x2 cleats to the inner walls of the boxes instead, and affix the shelves to them."
