It's $94 shipped and the button holes in the pic look like yours.

Actually that pic looks quite a bit better than the pics he posted - notice there is no blow out of the plywood between the holes and the sides in the ad do not have the blow out on the plywood either -- He says they may require a light sanding in the pic but from the product received it's more like some light to medium wood filling and then a full sanding that is needed to clean up the edges and blow out between the button holes. ( It's probably a combination of using a dull blade for cutting, cutting at too high of a cut speed and the cheap quality wood he is using - Notice even in his pics there are a bunch of hollow spots in the plywood layers which would explain some of the blowout since the layers are not bonded together completely and there are hollow spaces in the layering that catch the dull blade and blow out chunks of the top layer.
Sure the $94 price shipped pretty much ensures that he is using a cheap plywood but he needs to either sharpen the blades he is cutting with or decrease the cut speed to at least minimize the damage.

I took a closer look and you're right. I guess I'm just so used to getting something that's different from what I ordered as an amazon shopper, that the OPs pics actually meet the expectations I had when I decided not to buy one of these. Hopefully the OP can get his money back and put it toward a better kit from Haruman. I certainly love my Golden Age Vertical.

Update: Ok finally got a response back from Ryan at GRS.com. He said he was traveling and out. But get this... he said he doesnt have the Photoshop templates for the bartop I just purchased from him.... so he sent me a "weecade" file and said it needs to be adapted to work.
wtf?>
This guy created a YT video of him putting together his own bartop and showing how to make graphics for the sides, control panel, etc.. yet now he doesnt have the templates he used in the said video??
Done with this guy/business... Buyer beware IMO... OH and the pix I posted are AFTER I used a razorblade to cut off about 1/2" of tear from within the button holes.. I actually cleaned them up a bit... It still doesnt justify his CNC work.. because its just that.. its not. It's a jigsaw done blow out job to ship DIY kits for $100. Hell, he charged me $115 for that kit.
I'll be sure to go with the tried and true here on this board... lesson learned. But, I still think I can make this bartop great... just need to figure out how to create vinyl graphics to put on outsides, control panel and marquee... this will cover up the nicks, dents, blow out and more around button holes and side panels..
Thanks!
