I ordered 4 of these for my dining table. They are perfect cottage style for a rustic vintage look. The paint is very distressed and not really white but I love that they look like a vintage chair that has been weathered perfectly. I read many reviews prior to purchasing and I agree that they are really just meant for dining chair not a comfy living room chair( because they sit straight up). The only negative thing I can say is the cushion color is not a very attractive color. I wish it was more of a linen color. It is kind of an ugly dirty off white color that doesn't match the wicker. I just covered the cushion with a nicer fabric. Overall I'm extremely happy with the quality of these chairs. They are well made and perfect for a cottage look☺
