The color on this unit is a yellow tan'ish color not off white or white, the "marble" area looks good. I'm going to paint the yellow wood and it will be perfect because I love the flames and logs which do not look fake, good job Real Flame! It is heavy but I put it together by myself. No real issues other than don't run the firebox without removing the sticker on the upper right hand corner of the glass. Even though the glass doesn't get hot, the sticker was melted on and I had to use goo gone...it took an hour : ( to get it all off. They really should give you notice of that and they didn't.
All and all, I'm very happy with my purchase.
