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?



Whaaat?

Frame of a cabinet? Is that the face frame you are talking about? Or
are you you talking about the carcass?
