Such a beautiful stool.  I love the texture and shape; it's a bit different than all the garden barrel-style stools you see everywhere. The cream color is on the white side and I thought it actually was the white one, but the tag on delivery clearly said cream. Be forewarned it's definitely more whitish than beige-y.  The top of the stool is not completely flat, but it'll hold a glass near the center.  Good price for a great product!
