I think this is absolutely a beautiful creamy white beige color. Looks exactly pictured. At first I thought the seat cushion was a little firm but just have to 'break it in'. The back cushion is fine and is perfect height for me (I'm 5'0") but I think for people who have taller backs might not like it because their heads would go over the top. Height wise it's pretty short but has a nice width to it. Reclines at a decent flat angle. Of course the footrest is pretty hard to put back in place, like all manual recliners are, so just seat your baby down and push it back properly. And no locking feature. Overall I'm satisfied with this purchase and it meets mine and my babies needs :)
