Slight washed out wood grain (as opposed to plain white) but ultimately found that I liked this piece. I purchased two of these to fill the lower wall space behind my desk in my home office that will soon be painted dark bronze and am hoping that the white shelving with accompanying gold, wood, and white decor creates a vibrant video meeting background. The second stand had a damaged shelf upon arrival and Wayfair has been very responsive via the website in ordering a replacement shelf. Assembly is a bit confusing due to asymmetrical design — I’m usually pretty good at furniture assembly but had to partially disassemble and reassemble twice. Some written tips to accompany the graphic instructions would be helpful. Four stars for the product as it is a cool design but is not high quality wish I could provide a separate five star rating for my experience (so far) with Wayfair’s responsiveness in sending a replacement shelf.
