I don't have much experience and basic tools but I want to build a quick inexpensive sturdy cabinet to hold all the glassware we got for a wedding gift that is currently stacked in boxes on my dresser.

I have just under 12" of space between side wall and a door-frame in my living room. I plan to make a piece that is about 10" deep by 20" wide by 8 feet tall, from 1x10 pine, basically like a bookshelf (which I did once before), then put on some glass doors on the front.

I have a few questions:
Can I buy already-made glass doors? Does Home Depot have them? Do they come in standard sizes?
Do I have to buy hinges separately? What's the best kind?
What should I use as backing for the cabinet?

Many thanks...
I was going to do adjustable shelves, but was thinking of having one fixed shelf maybe half-way up to make the unit sturdier.

I'm wondering if I can get started on the cabinet now and worry about the doors later, or do I have to take available (standard) door sizes into account when designing the cabinet?
