I bought one in white and one in black. The black one is more stylish.with a roughened finish over all. The white one has shiny metal legs much like garden furniture.  So I was pleased with the black one but it proved impossible to put together. It is useless to me. I did manage to attach the top to the bottom of the white one but it took much straining to match parts and heavy hammering. Also both chairs have rough metallic edges so I can't offer the white one to visitors for seating. All in all a disappointment.
