I like it quite a bit. The first thing I'd do is replace the lid screws so the lid would close properly.
The technique I use is to use small pieces of scrap veneer, roll them up and cut them to match the depth of the screw hole. Then I fill the hole with wood glue, tap the rolled up piece of veneer in and thread in matching screws from a hardware store.
This fixes the torn out screw holes and made a world of improvement.
You can also use match sticks, or other small pieces of scrap wood, but the rolls of veneer work really good.
