I love the style of this bookcase.  I ordered two of the white.  It is not off white, more yellowy-white.  I was planning on painting it anyhow, I painted the inside a dark kelly green and the outside a navy.  They are now stunning!  They were very easy to put together.  I did both myself.  Took about 1 1/2 each to put together.  Instructions were very easy to follow.  Over all for the price, you cannot beat this bookcase!
