It looks just like the photo and overall is great for the price. It was packed pretty well but one of the pieces still has a large dent in the corner. Fortunately, it's the back of a shelf so we aren't going to worry about it. Its heavy- we had to carry it upstairs in pieces because the boxes were too heavy. But it was easy to put together and it does look nice. I wish we'd have gotten gray- I bet that would seem a little more upscale. But white is what my daughter wanted and we're happy with it. for the price, I think it's fantastic.
