This desk looks more white online and that is what we wanted. I tried to capture a picture up close of what it really looks like which is still hard to do. It’s more of a cream. I’d say it’s comparable to the “skin” color crayon in a crayon box. The box came damaged, which I know is not Wayfair’s fault, but I would have returned it if the box wasn’t messed up. I also purchased this same desk that says it’s black and it’s a dark espresso brown. Makes it hard when you want to purchase something to go with specific piece of furniture.
