So I guess your pine is cheaper too. And here I thought that the access I had to BC's softwood lumber was working in my favour.
Your price estimate certainly doesn't seem out of line, but there are alot of factors to consider that only you are privy to.
Assuming 8' ceilings, then estimating, doors should be 32x18"ish, so they shouldn't be too heavy using mdf and euro hinges. Just be careful that the holes for the hinges don't get stripped. I've almost broken my spirit a couple times when I've screwed up nice wood or nice plywood, but I've never been more frustrated with both pine and mdf. I made a knotty pine full-wood kitchen once, so I both love and hate pine.
I'm sure youre competent or you wouldn't be taking on this project, so I don't mean to second guess your plans. I'm just some guy on a messageboard and not an expert. I'm not sure of the logic behind using pine for the uprights. Easier joints? Are the shelves going to be adjustable? I could be misreading your intention of 'uprights'.
