The two outer frames are glued to the long edge of the central frame. After assembling the three frames, I attached the plywood to the bottom edges with glue and #8 x 13A" screws.

Then I attached the bottom frame with glue on the top face and screws down through the plywood. The wheels were attached with #10 x 3A" pan head sheet-metal screws.
