These are very nice dining chairs. They are a soft white (not a stark white) and they come in a relatively small box, but easy to assemble quickly. They look fabulous. How long the "leather" holds up is a question, but the style, price and comfort (even for a bad back no lumbar support is needed) they get 5 stars. The chair can be rocked a slight bit when you sit in it making it even more comfortable. I would purchase again.
