Great cabinet but it is definitely a cream color more than an off-white. I also followed the instructions perfectly and yet my drawer fronts are just slightly offline. No one else can see it but if you're a perfectionist, it could drive you crazy. Also, when the top drawer is out more than half way it starts to tip, even after I filled the bottom drawer. Overall it looks great, it's easy to put together and it holds a ton so I would recommend it.
