Super soft and easy to assemble! Can be assembled by even just one person, it’s that easy, takes about 5 min per chair. Chair itself is comfortable, good back support. We bought six to go around our dining table.  The cream is a true light cream. The only tiny annoying thing is that the ends of the legs weren’t designed well — the leg ends up balanced on one edge since the legs are set at an angle, so it may scratch floors easily. We bought felt pads to prevent this.
