[Shop-talk] Construction opinion poll

[BJNoSHOV8]

This seems to be a matter of opinion more than a matter of right vs. 
wrong.  Personally I would probably go with the build it square/parallel 
and cover the gaps with molding, but mostly it would be a matter of what 
it looks like or would look like one way vs. the other and you haven't 
given us enough information to go on.

If you build it square then you know it will function correctly, IOW the 
shelves can adjust up and down and still fit properly.  OTOH I can see 
where I might prefer to build it exactly to fit to eliminate the gaps.  
I would have to see it in person to really choose.
