Nice. Just curious - what design tweaks did you have in mind?

Front and side bottom "rails" matched in width; top side "rails" are
non-existent and are not that easily done using this method of case
construction; tweak design of the "plate rail", probably frame and panel
instead of solid; use of quarter sawn stock for front edges of vertical and
horizontal drawer partitions so there is more of a contrast with the actual
quarter sawn oak when viewed on edge; reduce height of piece by at least an
inch, probably inch and a half.

Those will do for starters. I dislike the height of the piece, although that
is easily taken care of SWMBO likes it, which is definitely a tactical faux
pas (letting her see it).

It's close, but there is just something missing to my eye ... might have to
live with it for a while to determine what. I'm thinking that it might be
better to not "curve" the bottom rails as it detracts from that classic
"chunky" look?

Who knows ...
