I wanted to love this cute nightstand so much! I read the reviews that the white color was more of an off-white, but since the bed I purchased from a popular children's website was 'antique white' I thought it should be perfect. This piece looks dirty gray; so much so that I thought they sent me the wrong color. But the item was labeled as 'white'.  I didn't want to go through the hassle of returning it, so we are going to stain it an off white.
