The white is extremely white, stark white. But the color is not the reason why I'm giving this two stars. This thing took forever to put together and I feel that it won't last long because everything had to be screwed together. 

And a note to those who are interested in this and live in an apartment that's not on the first floor - FedEx does not bring this to your door! I had to lug this 100lb box up a couple flights of stairs even though the delivery note said that it would be placed by my apartment door.
