Looks very beautiful put together! The color is a very nice "warm" white - without being cream or off-white. The pieces themselves are pretty solid, although the whole bookshelf did wiggle a little once fully assembled. Recommend bolting it to the wall with the included hardware, just to make sure it is sturdy. Mine came with a couple small nicks around the edges of some of the pieces, which is why I am giving it four stars. Probably should have exchanged but needed something right away. Otherwise, a very pretty shelf to have in our home, and we are already ordering another to match!
