Were my budget not in tatters from another project this is one I might drive all the way up north for. Gorgeous!

Definitely one of the prettiest I've seen! Not all have such a nice grain pattern overall.

It is a very nice machine but I am wondering if the veneer on the lid has been replaced. It doesn't look as circassiany.

The color on the top looks good but the graining on is certainly not as dramatic as the rest of the cabinet. If I were a buyer, I would want a closer look. Jerry
