Any thoughts or opinions would be greatly appreciated.
How thick is the wood you're using for the carcass? I'd be worried about a glued miter joint not being strong enough to keep it from racking. Also, what's wrong with finished end grain?

Might want to bump those joints up to a full or blind mortise, or a dovetail joint for strength. I guess you could use dowels to make the joint too.
