This was my first time ordering a large piece of furniture from Wayfair (or any online company without seeing it first!). It is exactly as it looks online. It is brighter white and does no have a distressed finish.  There are shelves inside as well.  The customer care person helping me when I called was very friendly and ready to help with the questions I had and in the ordering.  It took about 2 weeks to arrive and all was smooth.  I was a little worried about possible damage from the shipping but there was nothing to worry about.  The only regret I have is that I didn't purchase the more expensive version which is made with all mahogany wood.  The material used with this one, while it looks great, I am a little worried that it isn't as durable as the other.  Overall, this is a very nice piece of furniture and it looks great!

Pros: true to picture online and looks great
Cons: made form material that may not be as durable as true hardwood.
