The color is not at all antique white.  My bed is a greenish-gray, very sickly color.  I bought it for a project and didn't open it in time to return it, otherwise I would have because it looked horrible in a lavendar guest room.  I had my painters paint it white.  The style is cute, the caning was a little rough and needed some help, and there are small pock marks throughout the wood that we filled before painting.  Overall, I'd really consider if you can handle a weird color that is not the creamy color pictured.
