Software for planning wood bookcases/cabinets/tables etc?

I regret not putting them closer to the outside edges.
They had to be inset from back a couple of inches because there is baseboard trim i want to clear so the back of the cabinet can be flush against the wall.
But yeah, I actually think it would have looked nicer if the legs were closer to front and thus more visible.

I see what you mean about the stain bringing out the character of the wood more.

Truthfully I'm always a little trepidatious when it comes to staining wood.. Part of me always looks at it afterwards and feels it looks too "blotchy".
But after I build up a nice thick satin finish of urethane, I feel like it looks a lot better, at least in person. In photos it still looks a little blotchy to me.
And I'm still unconvinced as to whether I chose correctly going with this lighter reddish/orangeish stain, instead of my normal dark brown stain, but that ship has sailed.

I, on the other hand, find the look pretty great. Having the legs flush with the rest of the structure seems... blocky, I guess. Current placement is good :)

Oh, this is the light color I slammed on IRC? Looks a lot nicer on the finished product!
If you were to pick a darker tint, I think a deep chestnut kinda thing would have been nice in that setting.
