This chair looks really nice... it's definitely cream colored and not white. It almost looked yellow when I put it together, but with my other furniture and cream-colored carpet, it looks fine. It smelled strongly of artificial leather for a while but now I don't notice it as much. It looks elegant and feminine. Exactly what I wanted. It is small with no arms so it goes well with my little desk. I put it together very easily all by myself in about 4 minutes.  Eventually, I may need to add a little lumbar pillow behind me if I spend too much time in it at once.
