We started using the plans from the site while modifying some dimensions to best fit our space. To reduce the guesswork in aligning the drawers and drilling the dowel holes, we routered a slot in the side of the drawer (shown in the pictures) then drilled a 1/2'' hole in the inside of the frame to insert the dowel. Doing this allows us to easily insert and remove the drawers for adjustment or cleaning.
We attached nylon straps to the bottom of the bin to hide them and used some hardwood plywood to completely cover the back.

I like your idea with the dowels. I want to do the same but I thought the dowels would need to be closer to the front corner for the doors to open properly. Do you find your doors open ok?
