I had originally ordered these in gray for my coastal living room. I changed my mind due to shipping times and took a chance on the blue. I love these chairs so much! The wide blue stripe is actually a bold blue, toned down by the white mixed in with it. The smaller blue is more of a navy blue, for reference. The white is really an off white, not a crisp white, at all. I was worry about the nailhead trim looking cheap but it is so well done and adds an unexpected flair. They are very comfortable for sitting long periods without even a pillow. The backs are fairly straight, which is what I prefer. Like other Wayfair items, the legs ship zipped into the bottom of the chair. You just need to slip the back onto the seat and Velcro the fabric sewed to the top to the bottom. My only complaint, a small one, is this fabric hits the chairs in different spots. We notice as the backs face into the kitchen and we have them next to each other.
