It's a little more cream than ivory as the picture shows. It's beautiful once assembled, which if you follow the directions wasn't all that difficult to do. It's well made. The fabric is really durable. It's a little stiff so I'm hoping that with more use it will become more broken in. But it's a chair that I wanted for my bedroom area to sit momentarily in. It's not a lounge kind of chair, but it's perfect for catching up with my husband, or reading a quick magazine, putting shoes on and such. Instead of using the tools provided, I used a power drill to help screw everything in. Your hands can get dirty from the hardware and it can stain the chair's fabric, so be careful when putting it together. Overall, a great find for the price!
