Design help |

I am finally replacing my 20 year old Target particle board nightstands with something new and durable. They've been through a lot of abuse. But I want something more bed level (not 8 inches below, as they are now) and much more durable (I will use the ceramic finish, as I've been happy with my desk).
Now, what I would like to do is an "open shelf" just under the top, something like this (not the design, just the open shelf):![[Image: image47328.jpg?w=2740&q=60&fm=webp&fit=max]](https://cdn-images.article.com/products/SKU12941/2890x1500/image47328.jpg?w=2740&q=60&fm=webp&fit=max)
My design will be more traditional, like a typical Shaker or Mission, but I think for a clean look based on how I use it a top shelf would be helpful. The Shaker designs I see online have open storage on the bottom. Top is a bit more challenging.
My question is how would I best design this so that I can attach the top? It will be a zebrawood top (they're already done) with a mostly walnut cabinet. I normally screw the tops in from underneath. If the open shelf is about 6" or something like that (I haven't decided yet) that doesn't leave a whole lot of room for screwing the top in. I could try an extension with a right angle drill attachment, which I don't have but are not expensive. I worry they will have enough torque, but maybe they do. Otherwise, I don't see a way to easily attach the top. Any thoughts?

Need a couple sheets of prefinished maple ply and my the place I used to get it from has closed. HD offers via special order Columbia Forest 'Purebond' maple ply in half sheets 24x96, and I can live with that. They get good reviews on line.
Anyone else have experience with this product?
