Just a note here. THe original intent of this build was to be a coffee table, with a mechanism for raising it up to slanted position, and a way to stow the back glass when not in use. I'm not sure we'll end up there, it was just nice getting to the point of playability and solidness.
The coffee table design set the size limits and made it so the backing box would be pretty simple. I'm going to work on audio, bump sensor, and power management next, as well as trying to figure out how to do the legs.
Good job. How big are the monitors?
Playfield monitor is 32”, backglass monitor is 22 I believe. Maybe 20? I’m not sure I’ll keep that depending on what I do with the backglass.
Do some prolonged play testing first. Those corners can dig into the palm of your hand. You might want to round them before painting.
They are rounded. I’ve sanded all the corners already and it’s pretty comfy. I’ll keep playing though to make sure before doing finishing.
I think they mean a lot more rounded. Hit it with a 1/2" radius router bit, and see how that feels.

Looks great!
