My wife needed a place to put all of her small essential oil bottles. I had one piece of glass that helped establish the dimensions. The top tray lifts out to maximize storeage #box #dovetails #cherry

Nice! Looks like you spun the head off a couple of screws. Been there! Just take a drop of super glue and glue the head on the empty hole. 

Oh, that's a good idea! I was planning on replacing all of the screws to match and never got around to it but I think I might have to now!

Stupid brass screws...

For future reference, ALWAYS cut brass screw holes with a steel screw first. And use wax on the screws. Also I use a drill bit that is almost the same size as the threads and not the shank of the screw. The wood has some spring in it once drilled it springs back and for small projects like this matching the bit with the threads works great providing plenty of bite for the screw.
