Any opinions regarding joint strength if I can manage to saw the face frame off through the glue line, plane the surfaces, then reattach it with just the long grain glue joint, no splines? -

If you don't actually require the internal space to be a single large cavity, you could also build it as two boxes that join in the middle for disassembly. -

Thanks! The wardrobe in the link I posted is 56.5" wide, 21.5" deep and 86" tall, and is mostly one large box. I guess by "disassembles" they mean that the base, top, and doors come off. -
Honestly, you don't need cam lock fasteners. I have an Art Nouveau cabinet that I've moved a bunch of times. It completely disasembles. Overall dimensions about 18 inches deep, six feet wide and maybe five and a half high. It's divided into three vertical sections: the center section is about twice the width as the two side sections. The base is quite sturdy/heavy. Picture 3/4 inch ply, sitting in a frame about two inches thick and two or three inches wide. There are dowels where the vertical pieces "sit" in place. The sides and center dividers all have holes in their bases... and their tops. The top is also quite sturdy, and also has dowels. To assemble, place the vertical pieces in the dowels. Place the top over the uprights. I should mention that the dowel/hole fit is reasonably tight. Gravity holds it in place. There are some back pieces that slide into dados, and the doors screw into piano hinges. Assembled, there is no racking and no play. I'm sure the overall width and total of four uprights help. But it was probably close to 100 years old when I bought it (who knows how many times it's moved before then) and I've moved it at least five times. I'll see if I can find a photo. -

I'm embarrassed - I looked at the space again and the closet won't block the attic access at all. Thanks for the ideas and sorry that they were irrelevant. OK, new plan. Just looked at my space and the closet will not be under the attic access hatch. So, I'm just going to make a standard free-standing piece of furniture. Looking at ads for inspiration, it might be convenient if this could dis-assemble for moving. Especially since my shop is in the basement and this is going on the 3rd floor. https://www.harpgallery.com/shop/item41283.html I could see the base and crown coming off, but how could the cabinet dis-assembled? I haven't had good experienced with IKEA style cam lock fasteners.
