I've got a keyboard hack in my cocktail cabinet, providing 2 players with 6 buttons each and it works fine.
I've not encountered any problems whatsoever.
By the way, I had many trips to home depot.
More screws, contact paper, more spray paint, new jogsaw blades, new drill bit, more glue, wood filler, edging, casters, washers...in my case there were loads of things I'd forgotten, overlooked, or decided I'd like at a later date.
