That sounds great, but how about making the cabinet's inside dimensions 18.5" wide and 17.5 inches deep, or something like that. These kinds of differences are easy to manipulate even with just panel thickness and different joint styles, and the thing I'd like to see is the width/depth ratio not be exactly 1-to-1. If we just move the wavelength of each of these two distances by a note or so, we will have improved the cabinet. Also, you're using some pretty long panels, so you'd better install braces every foot or foot and a half. They're super easy to install - Just have some 1x2's cut to the width and depth of the cabinets and glue them in. And you'll want them to be a little snug fitting, so that they preload the panels.
