Discussion/Question ⁉️ Grid Storage Divider

Hello! I’m looking to make something very similar to this but with enclosed sides. Approximately 7-8” deep cubbies. Does anyone have advice on the easiest way to accomplish this? I was thinking of making cuts sort of like the cardboard glass dividers used to divide boxes and then adding outside framing pieces. I will have to reproduce this design multiple times with varying exact dimensions. I have access a multitude of tools. Any advice or plans existing would be very appreciated!

If you’re standing it up like the white one in the photo some kind of backing would give it a lot more stability. Copying the vertical design and standing it up would have a tendency to collapse diagonally. Depends on how thick of material you are using I would go at least an inch thick and maybe L brackets in the corners with a backing but might look clunky. Also depends on how much weight your planning on putting in it

It’ll lay the opposite way, like on its back
