Good quality with nice appearance. We ordered two in the Linen color and they are more of a cream than white. Also, "distressed" in this case mean heavy brushstrokes (sloppy in some spots) and a few light scratches on the top edges of the dresser. This is similar to the matching nightstands. The first dresser arrived broken and we are in the process of receiving a replacement. One thing I really wish the dresser had would be lined drawers. The top are, but the drawers below are pretty rough inside (similar to the nightstands).
