Nightstand drawer

This is the design of the drawer for the nightstand.
Click to enlarge. The drawer has lap joints front and back. The bottom is 1/4 plywood or hardboard. The drawer box has a false front mounted on the front of the box. It gives 1 inch clearance around the box. An xray view of the box is shown in the lower figure.

I'm trying to decide whether to build it from some cheap wood like yellow pine, or to go the full monty and buy some oak or cherry. Expensive wood would be a waste on such a basic unadorned design.
