These chairs are very pretty. However, they are not a creme they are a light gray. I was slightly disappointed with their height. They are half an inch shorter than the dimensions. That made a big difference for me because I really wanted a higher back. For this price, you can get a better quality chair from Restoration Hardware or other places. We had to go with these because we needed them sooner than than RH could get them to us. [...]. I would have spent $300 more for a similiar chair online. HOwever, they would have been a more true color.[...]
