This is not rocket science, but If you had a plate joiner, you'd be
able to make great cubes out of 3/4" crappy plywood so long as you can
cut it square. Use 3/4 and throw in some cleats and it won't rack
even if Dom Deluise sits on it. Gonna take a few drywall screws too.

One other issue would be legs, and what you could do is simply buy
some 2X2 oak at home depot and use the oak for the vertical cleats,
extend them down as far as you need in leg length.

And the last thing would be to maybe throw some 1X2's along the edges
so that the bottom edge is 1½" thick. SWMBO will be thrilled that the
softer fir will accept a staple quite nicely, whereas plywood won't.

SWMBO wants me to make some plywood boxes that she will then upholster.
They will be used for people to sit on (don't ask).

How about some construction ideas? They need to be sturdy, and thus
will need some kind of internal reinforcement.

TIA, Vince.
