Are the sides on that piece straight, MissLynette? Yes. It's a trick of camera perspective which makes it appear otherwise.
MLN 0916.04 / Antique Burled Walnut Jazzy Cocktail Bar
ATTRIBUTES: Beautiful burled walnut cabinet, original finish and hardware. Incredible jazzy mirrored interior, juicer, and picks (one missing, remind us, we'll stick another in the package) (barware not included). When you pull the door, the top automatically rises. There's a roomy compartment below for storage. Great little piece from 1940s England.
POTENTIAL USES: It's a grand little cocktail bar, perfectly sized to fit just about anywhere. Use it in the bedroom, library, home office, living room. Its main purpose is to inspire you to sit down, relax, have a martini. Sweet!
There's also a light, which you can have a competent electrician make operable. And here's our MissLynette Don't-Cut-That-Cord! public service announcement: We have long been horrified to hear antiques dealers and auctioneers across the land suggest that folks make European lights operable on US current by chopping off the plug and replacing it with one from the US. Do. Not. Do. This. No matter how good it sounds, it's a recipe for disaster, house-up-in-smoke disaster, and no fabulous cocktail bar or chandelier is worth that. You may know people who have done this and nothing bad has happened. All we can say to that is yet. It doesn't cost much for an electrician to rework the light. It's worth your life to have it done right.
That's the end of our public service announcement. Back to this bar. There is a light. The bar's a sweet, jazzy little thing, an absolute incitement to party. If you want a little more light, see your electrician.

ABOUT SHIPPING COSTS: GPX substantially raised our rates at the first of the year. Unhappily, this has resulted in a price increase on shipping our packages. We will still continue to charge flat rate, cost only shipping. No extras, no labor, no hidden fees. Just what it costs us. Or less.
ABOUT SHIPPING: (1) Large items can take up to six weeks to ship (rarely more), though usually much, much less;
(2) We are not shipping cell.phones or CDs; it takes time to pack large, heavy items properly for transit.
(3) If you have not heard from us, call! Spam filters in email are an evergrowing problem.
Please thoroughly read our listing information and ask any questions you may have prior to bidding. Because we cannot anticipate what will happen with shipper crowding, packing materials availability, or issues that arise in daily life, there may be additional delays. As noted above, you are always welcome to check with us for an update at any time. In most instances, we ship very quickly, but we are just regular folks, passionate about the things we sell, excited to be here on eBay, and subject to the usual ups and downs of life.
Finally, please understand that we are a small, family-operated business and we sleep and take weekends off to tend to our elderly parents. We'll respond to all questions asked as quickly as possible. If you do not hear from us, check your spam filter!! Or call us. We love to talk to our customers.
Now, grab that cup of coffee, put on some music and your slippers and enjoy online shopping in these chilly days of winter. Thanks for visiting us!
