We needed extra food storage for a summer beach cottage. We waited for a good price and ended up buying 2 units, which we placed side by side. It needed to be able to be very sturdy to hold cans and jars of food. Also, it needed to hold the large boxes of cereal. These units did it all! My husband said they were packed to perfection! Not an issue with any piece. The color is a creamy white that is slightly distressed/aged. The style was cottage beadboard. It did have a lot of pieces to assemble, but it was not an overly difficult thing according to my husband. Not many people mention the cost, but we got both units for a little over $800. Pricing these out everywhere on line, these were a deal!!!! I would say these are totally comparable to units purchased at high end furniture stores already assembled. GREAT, sturdy pieces!!! Well- made, packaged well, looks fantastic!!!
