You can always the slats on the side to this look. It is available from Woodsmith too but is actually from a Popular Woodworking article. I like this Stickley look better myself. The nice thing about the plans that come from Woodsmith Magazine is that they are very detailed and most people with decent woodworking skill (and tools) can follow their instructions. In the magazine issues where their plans originate, there is often an article about how to make some of the joinery and sometimes a jig or tool you can make to simplify them. The mortises will probably require some sort of mortising jig unless you want to muscle through doing them manually. In some cases loose mortises or just dowels will substitute. It is possible with care to just use a router table. From ShopNotes article:
