The pic looks like its tilted but its not, I used a leveler and i took it on my camera phone.
yesterday i purchased plywood to put on the sides to finish it off. Then i plan on staining. my question is what type of finishing nailer if it is a finishing nailer that i need? i want to use a nailer because i dont want to do it by nail and hammer so im using glue than nails. the plywood is 3/8 thick. what gauge and size nails do i need to do what i want. should i use nails or brads? Whats the difference? will either of these two guns work?

Are you ever planning to use the nail gun again? If so, I’d avoid Harbor Freight tools. They’re way down on the quality scale. Look for a brand like Bostitch or Porter-Cable.
You can use a brad nailer (18 ga.) if you use a little adhesive on the back, such as Liquid Nails or PL 400. This type of nail will leave a smaller hole to patch than a 16 ga. nailer. Hope this helps.

If you don’t have a compressor:
