Love this chair!  The chair came completely assembled which is a plus!  I bought two of these for the head of our dining table.  I absolutely love them and get compliments on them all the time!  The color is a beautiful light linen, not as cream as the picture but more of a light khaki.  As others have said it does give off a slight pink/purple hue under certain lights... but it's not something anyone else would notice!  I ordered the ones with the nail tacks which is the look I was going for. It gives it a rustic look, instead of more polished like the silver nail head trim.  I use these every day and they are comfortable to sit at the table and work. They are narrow but tall, so pay attention to width when ordering.
