will this work ? stand build q's with pics

So is it just lateral support that is questionable at the moment, if so I will add 2 horizontal shelves and frame the sides and top with a 4 " ply trim, this is not my first wood project. I am not a carpenter but I have built lots of structures including a 40' shop 15 years ago that is still standing today.

In my opinion plywood is extremley strong the layering in oposite directions of the veneers if built properly ,would be just as good as a plywood on frame design. cabinet makers stoped building framed cabinets years ago.

I do think I should have used glue and will take it apart and glue every joint, thanks for the input so far.

That'll be fine....are you going to use longer screws?

your original design would work but for I'd use thicker plywood and longer screws. you could even add decorative molding for more strength and beauty

Your re-designing will give you that needed, extra support. I think you got it! Good luck!

Updated with more support, building two shelves for lateral support right now.

Shelve added.
yeah and for all you monster stand builders I upgraded all the screws to #8 2 1/2 coated deck screws

What I really like is that I built this from a single sheet of plywood, I have enough plywood left over for 1 more shelve.

Any problem with splitting using screws that long?
