WE bought it in white and really like it. I have photographed it with a blank card from a Rolodex file to show that the color is actually more of a creamy white than a stark white like a 3x5 card. The leather looks and feels soft, and the cushions invert easily for the "table top" function.  Be sure to measure the area in which you plan to use this piece of furniture because it IS big.  We had measured ahead of time and yet it still seemed surprising how much space it actually fills. A good buy.
