I have the chair in white without the additional arms.

Overall it's a decent chair, but a bit uncomfortable due to the pressed seat.  If they had bothered to scallop it out it would be infinitely more comfortable.  The paint is some uninspiring flattish white.  Almost looks like it needs a finishing coat.  That said, it is holding up over the last four months.

The connection to the back looks pretty thin without the arms, but it seems to  hold up well, what is much more annoying is the amount of squeaking it does whenever shifting around on it.

Overall, I'd give it a 3.5, rounding it up to the 4 star review you see.
