Was very happy with this. not sure why they call it natural white cane. it looks like the photo - nothing "white" looking about it. love the rattan/caning front. the wood part is fine/nice - not "expensive" looking wood, but it's perfectly nice. great for my second home condo. my daughter also has one in her apartment. But i wouldn't put it in a very nice family room if rest of furniture is very high quality. this piece is very good for the price.
