Doesn't offend me. Most 1950s/1960s roundie cabinets are really humdrum in my book. Some 1940s TV cabinets are more interesting, but of course no color that far back.

Butt ugly is such a strong term...I'd prefer "different" as well as "unique".
Not exactly my style but if it fell in my lap....(ouch!).

I personally don't care for "Early American" style, but that's what it is, and it would fit perfectly in your den with all "Early American Style" furniture. (By the way, the sofa cushions should be "casual plaid.") In other words, if you can't see any other styles in the same room, you may temporarily accept this as normal.

This set is rather basic looking, as are many TVs from the 50's and 60's. For real butt ugly, I would say the Zenith Avanti or curved-cabinet sets from the 1970's win hands down.
