I was going to cancel my order for these (I purchased two) but was not able to. They aren't exactly "white" as the color implied. They ARE a nice solid wood. They don't take up lots of room and even though assembly was a bit difficult at first, once my friend mentioned I needed to start the holes by drilling prior to assembly, it was easy! I'm seriously NOT experienced with using drills and I'm pretty happy how it turned out! I'm thinking of painting them though. Solid wood beats pressboard! It will last!
