I agree to replace the OSB with plywood. Construction grade is fine. What are you doing with the long sides? How will they be finished? They need to be skinned or something because the stand needs to be braced to prevent the top shifting away from the wall. The center "wall" is unnecessary. I would also want to increase strength on the top...the way it is will allow a fair bit of sag between the verticals. Maybe add another 2x6 (or 2x4) to the top plate alternating the lap on the corners?
