As other reviewers stated, the color is darker than the picture.  It must be treated with something to give it the shiny finish as there was a noticeable odor when I took them out of the box.  After breaking out in a rash from putting up my bare feet on one of them, I washed them down with mild soapy water. Now they seem okay. Will have to see how they hold up as only received them about one week ago.

Pros: reasonable price because reduced
Cons: concerned about what chemicals used to treat them
