Thank you very much Syncamorea for this suggestion. I've seen t-nuts before but didn't even think about them for this.

So, I've mocked up some changes.

First I doubled up the main surface with two 1/2 boards sandwiched together.
Next a brace for the upper and lower cabs that will have t-nuts sandwiched between the brace and the 2 main surface boards.

I'll probably just use dowels for the other joints.

Here's some pics, and again any criticism is welcome.

Was going to post the full sketchup file but it exceeds the forum size limit.
I'll try to compress it later.

Thanks.
