This is a surprisingly sturdy and easy to assemble shelf.  The ‘white’ colour is actually a grey/ white but that wasn’t a problem.  Item arrived slightly damaged but we accepted it without complaint as it didn’t matter to us to to the location and purpose of the piece.  But could do with more careful packing factory end.  Husband said it couple have done with a template to mark out fixings but if you are reasonably competent at DIY it shouldn’t be a problem (lucky I’ve got the husband, he can stay for now!)
