The item is ok - it looks quite grey in the pictures - but don't be fooled - its brilliant white when it arrives - but it is listed as white so my bad on that front !! - in terms of overall finish, its ok but not " fine " - as in a few runs in the paintwork and a few little gaps here and there between pelmet and frame work - I hand painted it to match the kitchen décor and the water based eggshell has taken well. The factory finish is chalky so one assumes a its kind of primer ready for top coats ? - I didn't read that information do undertake such work on the website , it just seemed to need it.. Simon.
