As Larry said, look at it as parts - a center 'chest'; two end 'towers'; and a bridge shelf.
Build each piece separately, then assemble the whole structure in it's final location.
The doors and drawers can be finicky and time consuming, but they're not really all that hard to do.

Thanks for the heads up.
The general plan was/ is a 4 pronged attack, as I look at it the same way, 4 piece set. It is not a go yet, as it is for family and they sometimes take a while making up their mind. Once the mind is made up, they will want it the next day.

Well I must admit Larry has met my bro-in-law during his visit. He will come up with the funds, no problem. Now making a quick decision, that's different.

Steve I can tell you those glass panels are not fun. I bought a set of router bits for those kinds of doors from Toolstoday. They were not cheap and was not fun to use. After eight doors( I was making two display cases) I finally gave up and used the plans from Woodsmith. Their technic worked great. It was still a lot but it came out alot better. Besides I was plenty tired of it, so it would look good wouldn't it? Or good enough. If you get that magazine I can tell you the issue. I don't remember off hand.
I agree with the others, take it in pieces, take your time and don't think about what's in front of you. Just one piece at a time.
Do a good job with it don't tell anyone of your mistakes ( I know it's hard) and have fun.
