I bought the Martha Stewart Dollhouse Bookcase in creamy white. It is a beautiful and sturdy (heavy) piece of furniture. The color Is NOT white, but has a creamy, almost yellowish hue, just as the description implies. While this is not difficult to put together, it does take a fair amount of time to assemble (3-4 hours). Some of the boards came slightly chipped, but did not affect the overall appearance. As other reviewers commented, I too had issues with the screws for the roof not being long enough. An easy hack to remedy this problem is to put a broken toothpick, the same length as the screw thread, into the hole (along with the screw), so the screws have something to grab onto. When all was said and done, the dollhouse was beautiful and my daughter was thrilled with the purchase!
