These are well-made, high quality nightstands that exceeded all of our our expectations. They were VERY well packed and we experienced no damage or problems.  Even though I ordered them on 12/19 (Christmas week), they arrived and were being used in our bedroom on the 24th. The color is very much like what you see, an ivory color paint washed with a brown overcoat, and the finish is distressed and has those "wormholes" that a master woodworker told me adds character to the piece. They are solid wood with very sturdy drawers that have a kind of "click" closure to them.  Well done, Wayfair!
