Haha sorry for the confusion - I guess my concern is the cabinet floor (bottom of the cabinet). I've usually just used pocket holes and joined to the sides that way. However I wanted to use box joints this time. But then I started to wonder if glue alone would secure the bottom of the cabinet to the sides. If it helps at all, this is a wall mounted cabinet that will go above a toilet in a bathroom.


As long as you are "not" only using glue with a butt joint you should
have a relatively strong joint.

Normally the bottom fits into a dado on each side. And a face frame, if
you will be using that too, will add strength.


Don't you mean 2 face frames? ;-)
