I'm building a cabinet carcass to house my wife's keyboard, which is already in it's own box which measures 57 5/8" wide without factoring drawer slides (Blum Undermount)

I had originally intended to grain wrap the sides and top, but I goofed and rough cut everything before milling instead of leaving it intact to cut to dimensions afterwards.

The way I see it I have three options

A) I stick with my plan to grain wrap, and simply make the cabinet carcass much wider than I planned for, which in theory is fine..but because it's a rough cut they are not all exactly the same so I'm bound to create some discontinuity in the grain if I go this route right?

b) Skip the grain wrapping plan all together and just build the carcass to my original dimensions

C) I have enough rough length to grain wrap one side potentially, but it doesn't leave a lot of room for error.

Frankly, I don't think my wife will care that much about the grain wrapping...I just am trying to challenge myself to learn and apply new skills and want to make cool stuff ya know? Does the possibly for discontinuity in option A really defeat the whole purpose of the grain wrap and trying to make it work will make it look worse?

What would you do in my shoes here?
