It's a lovely couch but it's not completely white.  It's off white, more of a champagne like or cream color.  I see why in the picture the legs of the couch rest on carpet.  Whenever we sit on the couch you can hear the legs tap our wooden floor.  I purchased the self-stick felt furniture pads hoping that would be my solution but I still hear the legs tap our wooden floor.  Looks like I may find myself in search of a nice area rug so I can rest the couch on.  Other than that, it is a super comfortable couch and I'm hoping for good durability over the years.
