So far so good. I would definitely say it is not “off white.” Definitely a grayish tan. Luckily the color still worked for me, otherwise it would have been a hasssle to return. The build wasn’t overly difficult. The mounting did require 2 people for the lift. The instructions were fine except for the wall mount straps. No detail on those. I ended up using lag bolts as I wanted to go right into the studs. All in all, I would recommend. It looks rad!
