Nice start, but that frame, as it is, won't hold up a 150!!

I'm not liking the fact that your not properly supported with your vert supports ( your only relying on the shear strength of the screws (or nails)) Check out some of the other stand frame builds and you'll see where you need to add some support

Okay.I was conserned that the frame was a bit flimsy to start with.Im plannig on adding more 4*4 to the legs,Also as this is gona be a cabinet im gona have 3\4 inch
plywood sheets on the back and sides.
Any advise on where I should strengthen it.

Add in (I'm sorry those look like 2 X 2's in front of all of the ones that are there already, but squeeze them in between the top and bottom frames (that is where they wil be most useful)

If it was me I'd just rebuild the whole thing with 2 x 4's but you'll get away with 2 x 2 if your going to sheeth the whole thing (cut out your door openings from the front)

Okay,I get what your saying about the vert support.So what I need to do
is get some 4*4 between the Horizontal parts of the frame?
