I was surprised that this table was a bright cool white, vs a slightly warmer white that is typical on white furniture. (In the attached picture the big table is the NEW one (cooler white), and the one to the right is our OLD one (shinier/warmer white) This was disappointing because we were looking for a softer white that would match our white trim and countertops. Also the top of the white table is not smooth/clear..it has more of a very subtle texture versus the shiny/smooth top of the previous white tulip table we ordered from Wayfair. (However, my husband noted that this texture may be more forgiving with kids because it won't show scratches like our previous shiny top). Maybe we'll get used to it. Otherwise the construction and overall appearance is good.
