What they should look like,

Leon, It appears that you will rabbet the base pieces (or that you
"effectively" rabbeted them by attaching "ledges" that run their length,
and I'm sure you used corner bracing.
I was thinking if you used ledges, then it would be easier to
reinforce--with say "+"-shaped bracing with an overlapping joint in the
middle, or maybe even better, a "X"-shaped bracing with an overlapping
joint in the middle. Am I close, or would it be better for me to wait
for the picture (providing you are willing to share that information)?
