It was important that this bench be the copper color that is shown in the pictures because my HOA will not allow benches unless they are light in color and the copper would have been perfect. I phoned Wayfair's customer service and they confirmed that the color was identical to the pictures. The bench arrived promptly in two days as promised, but the color of the bench is "black" with some very light copper hints on the inside of the criss-crosses. I phoned customer service and was met with the best customer service and kindness that I have ever received. There was no problem getting a refund and I would definitely order from Wayfair again. However, I cannot order another aluminum bench because there is no guarantee the the actual color will be what I want. This is a problem from the manufacturer that provides Wayfair their photos.
