As others have said it's actually more green than blue, kind of a blue-green.  It takes a while to assemble, but not bad.  The issue we had was with the "white" top.  Instead of paint, it seems to be covered with some sort of chalk or powder that comes off on your hands.  I kept wiping it, thinking it was just excess.  But then the white top started to turn tan (bare wood).  Plus there were also a few gouges in the top on one end.  I ended up using a table runner that I had (for another use) to cover the top.  The cabinet does have a lot of storage space, which is why I purchased it.  Since it's in a hallway, I can live with the color.
