The white is more a slightly off white.  The material is nice and at 5'6" the chair is a perfect fit.  It is wider than I expected and I have no trouble reclining and returning to upright.  Clearance from the wall is minimal at @ 8 inches.

Pros: Easy to assemble and very confortable
Cons: It would be even better if black arm protectors and a heaadrest came with it
