This is a great dressing table - however aesthetically its more of a grey toned white with a subtle semi - matte wood grain finish. The panel is full where the kneehole is. It is a light grey for some reason however since it is likely a stool will be placed there it isn't going to be that obvious. Otherwise my husband was so relieved that it was ready assembled. Bought the bedside table too - factor in that it's a little higher than most ones ! All in all recommend them.
