Default Box joints for hanging cabinet

I had planned on using box joints to build the frame of a hanging cabinet (top, bottom, sides). However, I'm starting to wonder about the weight bearing ability of the bottom frame member. The tapers of a dovetail would make me feel a little better but with a box joint I wonder about the load bearing ability of the bottom member. Thoughts?


Well made box joints will easily hold up the weight and then some.
