Are these sticks the White color or are they plain wood (no paint)? Also, what does Nova stand for?

These sticks are plain wood, no painting, and "Nova" is the name of the series... which is the economic one

The sticks are plain wood with no color and a milled head. Nova is their name for differentiating between the types of sticks and the expected user. These are basic sticks for beginners

They are the normal stick colour and they have the nova, vic firth and 5A logo painted on it. Im not sure what Nova stands for too.

Plain wood. Nova is the economy line. Supposed imperfections make them lots cheaper, but I have found them quite satisfactory.

they are white. Originally I ordered 2 pair. 1 pair had a loose magnet and they quickly send a replacement pair. I use them in a boat and they sound pretty good.

They are white, cheap plastic. From what I can remember. They broke after 2 days of using them, without having anything on it.

This particular kit comes in gray or white. The white kit is a different model number (KIT5). There is not a wood one, but the KIT3 is a darker wood and is a similar kit. If you end up wanting the white one, just buy this one and send us a message stating that you want the KIT5.

They are painted. But we returned. The fiberboard was splintering into little pieces of sharp painted wood right out of the box. Totally crap quality item that is dangerous for any aged kid.

I bought mine many years ago from The Urban Homemaker and they were white. Newer ones may be gray.

Mine were wood, and very nice for decorative use. I have no idea if they are good for practical purposes as I do not have a boat. However, I got them last year.

The pieces are pretty sturdy, and the catalog from Home Decorators Collection states it is "hardwood veneer". I have absolutely no idea what that really means. I have the white variey and put it together almost alone. It is probably press board or pine. You could contact HDC. Their number is 800-245-5233. Their Customer Service was very good. They probably have a better answer to your question.

They are not pure white, not even eggshell. I'd call them natural (not bleached white). If I was buying wall paint to match, it'd be between beige and homespun. Kind of like the difference between white and unbleached flour.If you'd like a pic in natural lighting, email me pamelahowell at gmail.

Anyone try to spray paint these white? I need to add some height to a dresser I purchased but it is solid white. I'm having a hard time finding them prefinished in white. Or if they are unfinished they are more expensive!

The pic that is on amazon is pretty close to the color of the wood. I'm not sure what kind of wood it is but I would guess it is a white wood like pine and it is clear finish in natural/unstained color. I would call it a light tan color and it is a soft grain wood.

No. They are composite wood painted white and very well balanced. My fan is totally silent.

They are a natural wood color, though not as white as the real thing, and the gold inlay is just painted on :(

They are white with a slight swirl on the edge, nothing flowery. We love this design, it works for casual or formal settings.

White wood is usually poplar, birch or basswood. I think the nut and bridge are plastic. It sounds really great though.
