Not without trimming the budget somewhere. Most likely place is to swap the solid wood top panel for a veneered one.

Nope. I pre-finish the insides and both top and bottom panels, so the finish is integral to the construction process. The corner joint is a "lock miter" which has enormous glue surface so it's exceptionally strong, but it's extremely fussy to set up the machine (shaper) to cut it accurately.

I'd trade you for advice on how to fix my favorite teak coffee tables that my friend's dog chewed up.
As far as feedback on the product, I think I'd prefer more room, say a small hallway table with a hidden drawer like one that you have to push to release.

Can't say about the teak table - other than get out your glue and sander... The font I used is "Porsha". I'd be interested in a more accurate version.
I'm thinking a larger version too. This one was a sample run to try out the corner joint and to work out the engraving interface (production sequence). I'll work out one that's big enough for wallet, keys and cell phone, with a discreet slot for the phone charger cord to enter. I've done many hall tables - one of my favorite pieces too - just that's a much larger project... but maybe soon...
