We just totally remodeled our kitchen in white and grey, and it was difficult finding stools in pure white (not cream or off-white), so I was very pleased with the color.  Assembly was pretty straightforward; stools have remained strong and sturdy ever since I put them together.  I love that I can easily wipe off the faux leather seats and the painted wood -- with a 2yo and a 6yo, it's pretty much a requirement.  I have been very happy with this purchase; so much so that I'm about to order another one!
