No, trust me on this...it looks much better in the photos than in "real life." Part of one of the veneer inlays is missing, bottom trim is broken in one spot, the wood has several cracks where the top bends over at the left to become the left side. Correction: One of the cracks is shown in the eBay ad. Overall, I think the set was represented fairly in the ad.

Nevertheless, it is in better condition than some 37-630T sets I have seen. She did really well, I think. I am very happy with it, and I feel that with what I learned about cabinet refinishing this year, that I can handle this one OK.
