I’m not sure if I understand the question, but I would make 4 boxes and join them with a single plywood back and forget the bottom rail. Then use euro hinges. Maybe push the legs in to hide them. Might be too “modern” than what you’re going for aesthetically, but it’s simple to build. The entire “look” then comes down to how you style the top and the doors. It takes the face frame out of the equation and simplifies things a lot. Anyway, something to think about.

If I hijacked your design, sorry in advance!

I think you can build this one of two ways one would be as Brian suggests or buy building one unit with portions in it for the 4 separate spaces.

I’m sort of along the same lines as Brian. I’m looking at it like kitchen cabinets. You have two tall units and two short units. Construct each unit separately leaving the top of the tall units open. Attach them together from inside the small units then place your wood top on top of the tall units. You can add a shelf between the tall units using cleats, dowels or shelf supports. It would look nice with bun feet or similar “chunky” type feet.

Have you tried searching for credenza? Lots of pictures on google and they appear similar to what you are designing.
