These are a bright white, so is lighter than my linen white table and hutch.  I found that the dimensions are actually off.  This chair sits 40" from the ground, which is better than stated.  From the actual seat, the back is 16 1/4". Not sure where they got there measurements from??  The wooden pegs do not fit flush, but doesn't seem to matter, it's just noticeable.  One seat had much more darker wood stripes throughout so didn't quite match. It's okay since I will have cushions on them anyway.  These chairs do have a great cottage look at a great price.
