First the color is definitely more of a cream or antique white, but still really nice. It is very solid and has great deep shelves. I give it 4 stars for looks and 3 for the assembly. It was more of a challenge and took 3-4 hours to put together as the directions were a little confusing and some of the pieces were not labeled. The shipping box is very heavy and it did take 2 people to move it, but then one was fine to assembly, though would have been easier with 2 people.
