Hi Emily, I'm sorry to see that you're not 100% satisfied with your purchase. The 3M adhesive is super strong when assembled and used properly. Was the unit oriented properly right side up? Since our products are paper based, it is more of an off white however, we are working on a pure white and will be available soon. Please send me a photo directly to me and I promise to assure your total happiness with our products and service. Way Basics is a small family owned business and your email will be answered personally by me and I look forward to hearing from you.
