Look closely, I thought this cart was solid white, but the shelves are wooden. Not a deal-breaker, I actually like it... just not what I expected! It was easy to put together, however the braces did come in slightly bent and I had to bend them back into shape. All-in-all, I am happy with it. It's a perfect fit next to my kitchen counter. Now to find some cute baskets to put all the junk in :)
