The general rule is that the door should always be above the width. Also need to add central vertical barto close the gap between the double doors. For work you need boards, plywood, and two sets of doors.

First of all, fix the side walls with pin holes on the inside for adjustable shelves - it's a lot easier to do at the beginning. Drill holes for the front bezels.
For higher shelves, just trim the sides above. For deep shelves it is necessary to adjust the width of the plywood.

Attach the back support insert at the top of the cabinet. When you hang the cabinet, screw this board into the studs on the wall. For additional support can add a second support at the bottom of the cabinet.

The back is not constructive, but covers the inside, so it cannot be used for hanging. Use glue and nails for fastening.

The front bezel is flush mounted at the top and bottom, but increases the sides of the cabinet, so leave some room for maneuver when installing the cabinets.
At the end, install the shelves and secure the doors.
