If you are planning on using wood as thick as you have for your mock up, it really isn't necessary. If I were to do mine again, I would go no thicker than 1/4" for the bottoms and 1/2" or less for the sides/fronts. I would also go 3" tall sides instead of 2" like I did...I'd fit alot more sticks in mine if I had gone that route.

    Looks like a good solid and usable design though.
    this was made with 1/2 inch boards from pallets i had for some other projects. i plan on going with either 3/8 or 1/4 inch for the construction of the base and drawer sides as well and i am still doing to build it the same way as well. the tongue and grove would be a little harder to do with 1/4 inch since the grove would probably only be around an 1/8 of an inch wide leaving a 1/16 on each side but i think i could make that work. my wine cooler is about 20" tall 15-16" deep and 17" wide. the drawer front is 3.5 inches tall and 1/2 an inch is covering the base so i cant do 3" high drawers and the wood i am looking at is 4 inch wide so i was going to split it to get 2ish inch slats to use. im still debating on just making the base out of spanish cedar and the drawer sides and front from mahogany. the drawer i built is 16.5 inches wide and 1 foot deep. i wanted to make sure i had at least and inch in the back for air movement with how large this wine cooler is. i have to also shim the left side of the wine cooler shelve slats because when the door opens it dose not open flush. i can get more pictures tonight of everything and the actual drawer in the cooler as well!! thanks for all the feedback support and complements!!
