Lot of options there when it comes to the skins. For the back I use what it called a Tex screw and just screw the back solid. The top I counter sink the Tex screws so they don't protrude past the top plywood and fill the holes.

Now for the sides & front it depends on what you want. If you want doors I would weld one side of the hinge to the stand & then attach the panels to the hinge. Use a few counter sunk magnet to hold it closed. If you just want removable panels , counter sink several round rare earth magnets top & bottom of the panel to catch the stand. Make sure to put a small piece of wood on the inside of the panel so it will sit on the base of your stand & keep all the panels level.
