That turned out nice Bert.
The Chicago screws are a nice alternative if you can find a source that has them with a nice finish. Most of the time they are pretty rough and not something that would be acceptable for use on a new product. I've used them on some projects. They definitely have their place. Some of the best places to find them with a good finish are leather and saddlery supply houses. I had a supplier whose name escapes me at the moment that had them in many different finishes, such as antiqued, polished, brushed and matte.

Thanks for all the great comments. Ace Hardware had a good selection, I think these were brushed brass, they look really nice.
