The written description says the color is white.  The photo makes it look white with a gray/charcoal distressing,  NOT.  It really is a cream color and the distressing is just a darker color of cream that really doesn't show up much.  I am working with a particular color scheme so cream is off the mark and I purchased two of these!  I will call customer service and suggest they change their description for future orders, but I have a feeling it will fall on deaf ears.  Assembly came together without much trouble and the actual construction and working drawers are of okay quality so if you want a CREAM file cabinet you'll be happy.
