The “white” is NOT white. It’s more off white ivory with a yellow tinge (see photo for off white frame color vs white backing). All of our other nursery furniture is white and this clashes terribly. The backing and pre drilled holes did not align so my husband had to create new holes.. The roof does not align right at the peak but that didn’t bother me much. Overall, the bookshelf is really sturdy and cute, which is why I’m giving 3 stars instead of 2. But for the price, we are somewhat disappointed.
