This is a nice sturdy chair. Agree with other reviewers that the seat is more beige than cream as it looks but that is better for me.  The wood color is difficult to describe but kind of a taupy gray.  They were easy to put together with an allen wrench.  One small thing I didn't like was that the seat didn't completely cover the top of the leg post and it isn't painted so you can see a small edge of that if the chair is pulled out (which isn't often).  It would have been nice to have the rear crossbar have the same design as the other bars rather than plain since that is what is more often seen when stools are pushed in.  I haven't used them so I am not sure about durability.  They are comfortable.  Note these are wide so consider that when planning for your space.
