Question for the carpenters out there


I'm hoping to build the Pi 2 towers. Since I live in a small apartment, I'll be borrowing space, as well as power tools, in friends' garages for various stages, and getting help with some of the steps.

Q: For joining the sides, can I get away with (how do I describe this?) squaring the edges and screwing and glueing them together at 90 degree angles, or is it best to mitre the edges?

Sorry if my terminology is inexact - I'm new at this.

Thanks
Jeff
