If you order ivory, you will get a very yellowed antiqued finish.  It is NOT white or ivory and does not look anything like the finish in the picture.  I ordered 1 and a replacement and while neither one was white, they were also not even the same shade of the creamy-vanilla like color.  did not assemble but did use the fireplace/heater for a week.  It was lovely and it worked great!

Pros: fireplace is good, heated up small room.  Wayfiar responded promptly to replace first one.
Cons: color is not white
