In case your wondering based on the photos it is white with gray stripes and is not shinny. It is well made. I put it together by myself with a cold and vertigo so you can too. I freaked out a little before it arrived since I had ordered several different pieces from different makers, I called Wayfair. The women I talked to was amazing, she took so much time with me going through every item and where they would be placed and gave me an honest opinion. Yes I am the reason you were on hold for so long. This is the second furniture item I have purchased from them and have several more coming.
