I too, was torn between this and the PB version. A friend that worked at PB advised me that their table is more ivory/way off-white. So I bought this one. It looks exactly as pictured. It took my husband , who is a carpenter, less than an hour to assemble, and he did complain about some of the smaller parts needed to assemble breaking during assembly. breaking. It is bright white, and looks exactly as I imagined it, and seems bigger than expected as well. For $190, one cannot expect heirloom quality furniture. This fits the bill of functional, well-made , attractive furniture. I would recommend.
