Color is as expected. I would describe as definitely "natural"- not ivory or tan/beige in color.  The seats are firm but I find them to be comfortable. Chairs were easy to assemble without any significant difficulty or time involved. Chairs seem well made and are solid. (I have them at my "formal" dining table which I don't use often and actually haven't used them yet- Thanksgiving will be their first test....). I have a glass top table with dark would base and these chairs give the desired look I was looking for- more contemporary, clean lines.  So satisfied that I am about to order another set.

Pros: Comfortable, solid, nice clean lines for a more contemporary look
Cons: Was hoping they would be a bit more ivory in color but they are described as being natural (which they are). Still very happy with the product.
