This is a super sturdy piece of furniture. Its colour is between ivory and creamy yellow-definately not cream or off-white. It comes really well-packaged and quickly. My big beef is: the distressing is confusing...it's like camouflage. The distressed marks look like spiders and there are way too many of them! Some look like "x's". Now having said this, I can live with the "camouflage spiders" because it's the perfect size to put my 32" tv in and I've just painted my room white so the cabinet looks good in that room. 4 stars for the cabinet simply because of the distressing.
