The bench itself, is of good construction and very sturdy. As other people commented, not a pristine white color, but more of an antique white. My gripe with this is that the DESCRIPTION is not correct.  The only info for this, lists this bench as being 44, and it is NOT. The bench is, in fact, 48, which for me was a huge problem. Due to the extra 4 this bench did not fit where I needed it to, and it was actually slightly longer than my table.  None of this was realised until AFTER I had put it together and then saw that it didnt fit.  Good product, but bad description, so for me and my dissapointment, this only earns one star.
