Yeah that's pretty standard as a 30cm (approx) cabinet is quite shallow, where it's a good depth for a bookshelf.
You don't have to plaster behind if you're leaving the back as wall rather than mdf (you lose space of you use MDF).
There is quite a lot to detail so it's probably more expensive than you're expecting even if it's only made of MDF, which is also a ballache to paint.

Yes quite ready for it to cost thousands. Tempted to have a go but no doubt I'd be sobbing after a day. I'll consult the carpenter around the corner on cost at the right time.

Not sure I follow, surely you do need to plaster if it's an 'open' back
wall mount String or Vitsoe.
I guess this means you can take it with you when you move too and all that expense/effort isn't down the pan.

Lounge renovation probably happening next year. Quite fancy some nice inbuilt storage in the alcoves (standard Victorian terrace) and we'll probably get the plaster skimmed. Which should happen first?
Some of the cabinets would protrude from the wall a bit, something like the below. This looks like plaster first then cabinets built on top right? (Which would be more convenient tbh)
