NOT White!  The nightstand is definitely antique white or off white.  I know this because we had just painted the room from a yellowed white to a crisp, clean, pure white.  I specifically ordered these to be a clean white to freshen up the space.  I no sooner opened the packaging and immediately realized the nightstand was a dirty white.  My husband took a piece and held it up to a section of the wall we had not yet painted (we nick named the color, 'bad teeth') and the nightstand piece matched.  Ugh.  
Despite this, I put them together thinking I may use them in a different room.  It is a nice looking nightstand and are going to be fine in our 2nd home master bedroom.  The walls are going to be painted light grey, so I'm working with them.  Assembly was not bad.
