This dresser is very sturdy.  The drawers slide easily.  Overall a good value.  But it is NOT rustic white.  It is very creamy almost buttery.  It reminds me of french vanilla ice cream (not vanilla bean ice cream, which is a soft white, but the more yellowy version).  It's not a terrible color, but much too yellow for me.  I will be white-washing it with some chalk-paint.
