Yep.. sure looks like they were cut off. Having done considerable furniture restoration, I can assure you that a competant furniture restorrer can replace those legs in such a way as to make them as good as new. So good that you would have a hard time telling that a restoration was done.

In the normal course of the life of a piece of old furniture it is not uncommon for a leg to be broken off, and there exists methods of properly restoring a broken or, as in this case, a sawed off leg.

Although I realize the set is not "original" in it's present state, I actually like the way the set sits lower to the ground with the short legs. It gives it a more contemporary look, like some of the large console sets of the 80's.

AK member Jstout66 knows the seller of this set, perhaps he needs to contact him and let him know.
I'm betting the seller's unaware of this problem.

Edit: I just sent the seller a note with a link to the picture.
