Design help

Furnished content.
(from WoodNet.net)


I am finally replacing my 20 year old Target particle board nightstands with something new and durable. They've been through a lot of abuse. But I want something more bed level (not 8 inches below, as they are now) and much more durable (I will use the ceramic finish, as I've been happy with my desk).

Now, what I would like to do is an "open shelf" just under the top,something like this (not the design, just the open shelf)
My design will be more traditional, like atypical Shaker or Mission, but I think for a clean look based on how I use it a top shelf would be helpful. The Shaker designs I see online have open storage on the bottom. Top is a bit more challenging.

My question is how would I best design this so that I can attach the top? It will be a zebrawood top (they're already done) with a mostly walnut cabinet. I normally screw the tops in from underneath. If the open shelf is about 6" or something like that (I haven't decided yet) that doesn't leave a whole lot of room for screwing the top in. I could try an extension with a right angle drill attachment, which I don't have but are not expensive. I worry they will have enough torque, but maybe they do. Otherwise, I don't see a way to easily attach the top. Any thoughts?
