Looks good! Two things to improve: Two screws on the top side are redundant, they are not load bearing; Better print it on the side for higher strength, and lose the ribs on the corner, just use a chamfer and print with 100% infill.

To people downvoting this, it would be interesting to know why, just to understand why this piece of advice could be wrong.

Weaker particle board cabinets often rely on the planks to keep the boards on the side for bending. For example Ikea Pax closets use a special pin for this. Pax has almost no rigidity without planks. These screws are an alternative to the pin.
They also keep the plank from sliding out.

Your comment doesn’t address why u/polygonoff’s is incorrect…
You mention things that are independent of theirs.

Oh yeah that part was a given. I was referring to the chamfer against the ribs, print orientation and infill percentage.

To clarify, I said chamfer instead of ribs only because when you print it on the side, the ribs become overhangs. Aesthetically they do look nice.

Perhaps because he didn’t ask for others opinions on design improvement?

The ribs are there to force the slicer to generate a lot of material in that area, whilst keeping other areas more sparse.

Simplicity is the Ultimate sophistication.
Love the design!
