I can think of several other possibilities. I do like this one, partly
because I think I can build it. :


Actually, I was thinking more along the lines of a "stopped dado" in the
Curved End Panels for that bottom shelf to reside in, somewhere along
this line:

Mainly because it would give you a more finished, 'furniture like' look
on the curved end panels of the bottom shelves, and still provide
strength, especially if you pin the joints with a contrasting
wood/dowel/pin.

Either way will work, though.

Most folks with your time level invested in woodworking usually rely on
someone else's plans to make anything at all - you're well past them in
that regard.

So take it up a notch, stretch yourself a bit and tackle stopped dadoes
if you haven't already done so. Doing so will only improve your skills,
and ultimately the end product of your designs.
