What happens here

Cut a large plywood panel to fit precisely over the entire top surface of the assembled built-in structure, extending to the ceiling. Secure this panel with screws or brad nails. Then, cut and install trim molding around the edges of this top panel, matching the style of any existing trim or baseboards. This will create a seamless, built-in appearance and enhance the overall architectural integration of the unit.

Goal: Add a plywood panel to completely cover the top of the built-in, then trim it out to create a finished, integrated look.
