I bought this in white.  It is a lovely, milky white color just a hint toward cream, in a relaxed, lightly distressed matte finish. The brass hardware feels more substantial than the images look, a little rough and not as glossy as the image looks, which frankly I prefer.  Everything arrived wrapped and packed to the hilt, so there was no damage, and no assembly was required.  A lovely, substantial piece, it has more presence than you might expect from its dimensions, but fits perfectly into the small corner of a tiny sunroom I'd chosen it for.  The drawers slide smoothly without rattling on wood slides, and feature drawer stops so you can't pull the drawer out all the way and drop it on your foot (a problem I have with shallow chests like this.) It is easy to twist the stops to remove the drawers entirely, though.  Second image shows it with the matching desk.
