This is a beautiful and well made piece of furniture!  This Sideboard came fully assembled except for the bun feet, which were attached by the deliverymen (I purchased the delivery and set up option).  I purchased the white as the other color had sold out, but I am now so glad I got the white.  It is a pure white and does not have a distressed finish.  I inspected it for any cracks or damage, especially since the doors have glass insets.  Everything was intact and the drawers open and close smoothly.   I am very happy with my purchase and delivery.
