This unit is neither white not glossy. Its an almond off white and matte. At night the color has a nice iridescent sheen. I was disappointed that it wasn’t white but it matches the couch I ordered and looks more mid century modern in this color. The center shelf arrived broken. It had been pre assembled but arrived torn off. I will sand it and use wood glue to fix it. The left door is also not the same size as the right door so it leaves a large gap.
