my diagram for a small cabinet/bookcase--pls vet for me?

Here's the diagram I made to plan out what sizes of lumber I need to make this silly little cabinet to sit on top of my daughter's mini-fridge at college.

I want to put a drawer in it, so I bought a cutlery organizer made out of bamboo. It's just the tiniest bit wider than 17.5 inches, so I decided to ask the lumberyard to cut the top and bottom 20-1/8 inches instead of 20. (I'm hoping they're willing to do that precise a cut--as long as they're both the same, it won't matter much if they're 1/16" off or so.)

What am I forgetting? Have I done the math wrong?
