I saw it on the site and was a perfect piece to finish off my corner in a room.  I thought from the picture that it would be white.  A previous review stated the same thing and she ended up having to spray paint it.  Same thing for me.  If you look at all the pictures of it (different pictures along the bottom of the page), the final picture shows what it actually looks like - light gray with 'splashes' of small brown strokes occasionally.  Not quite what I expected and a bit disappointed but guess it's nothing that a can of spray paint and time won't fix...Probably would still buy again, but the other pictures make it appear white.
