The Island is a rustic look to it so don't except a white type.  Its very farm house like looks great and is huge by the way.  I am a average sized guy and I was able to put it together pretty fast not much is needed to be done btw.  Basically the whole thing is set up but the wood top piece is all you need to get on, its pretty heavy so maybe two people are needed but I'm stubborn.  They give you screws to make it tight but just using the two wood pieces was enough to not make it move at all.  We love it the size is nice the finish is rustic and there is so much space on its shelves you wont be disappointing.
