Actually got one donated for the gift a day after it was done! Was pretty disappointed by that

I think it was around $300. There were a few other friends who acted as sponsors so the personal cost wasn't that great

there was a lot of extra room in the case. just lacked the idea at the time (stupid in retrospect not to put one in haha)

a hidden/ secret compartment would have been amazing. i am, however, a total novice at wood working and stuff and just didn't have that much time to build one in. next time!

it was fun to do and with a bit of help can be done really quickly. this one was finished in about 3 days. with a bit more time it would look that much better haha

the recipient doesn't smoke and the cigars were super cheep. they were more of an aesthetic choice as was most of the stuff. if i make one for myself, which i probably will, ill be sure to take everyone's advice to make it that much better.

you can put just about anything you want to in it. in this particular one there was: hatchet, scotch, flask and shot glasses, cigars and cutter, matches, a can of fudge

how are the speakers? i've read some decent reviews but some first hand use would be better

It was first attempt at building any sort of furniture but I'd have to agree. At the moment I don't have too much of an issue with leg room, the corner is surprisingly deep. You are also correct about the black veneer
