The 5 Drawer Chest was more tan than white.  The quality is good.  My husband did have to make one trip to the hardware store for a package of screws that were missing and had to drill one hole that was missing.  The directions were clear, but the assembly took longer than we expected.  There are a lot of parts!  We are using the chest in a guest room and feel it is good quality for the cost and would purchase this line of furniture again.
