My husband built this behind my back as a surprise, I was very surprised that it’s basically gray  not the very white-ish color it displays on the selection I ordered. I got it for that color, it was a choice between this and a few other  “white to cream” tv stands in my cart. The picture is very misleading and confusing. Was there ever a white option Why is the photo not just gray Seeing as how he built it and wasted his time I am starring at it with annoyance because it is very very beautiful but it does not match ANY of my decor whatsoever. If you are in the market for gray, this is very nice (5star all the way) he said it was not hard for him to build and the piece feels a sturdy. I should have investigated the reviews more instead of rushing. I am contemplating on painting it but am worried it will look bad.
