I see why you call it MiniCab. It's like one of those Capcom Mini Cute cabinets but still considerably larger and more suitable for adults compared to the previously mentioned.

The width is probably too small for two adults playing together, because even the Japanese cabinets that are designed for smaller arcades are around 30-32 inches wide.

Anyways awesome job. I hope you'll get the chance to build more cabinets in the future.
