I love the shape of this pedestal table, and the simple round base. But the description says the base is white, but it's definitely a creamy, almost yellowish color. The paint on the pedestal is solid, not distressed, which I like. The wooden top is distressed slightly and very lightly white-washed. It's a quality piece, and I just wish it were white like in the description. I will keep it, and maybe someday paint it white.
