I ordered the white chair, which is actually a warm white, creamy ivory.  It suits me.  The base is chrome but the base cap is plastic, sprayed to look like metal.  It was a speedy delivery and very easy to assemble.  The only flaw was one line of stitching, where the thread had a loop pull.  I painstakingly poked it back into the needle hole so it wouldn't catch and pull further.  It is very comfortable and a contemporary esthetic.
