First of all, compared to other products of this type described as "small," these are huge. Far larger than the cubes I'm replacing with this purchase. The color is a nice, deep shade and material is nice. I am a little disappointed at how distinctly I can tell that the filling is just styrofoam pellets. Has that carnival stuffed animal sound, hence 4 stars. Overall, I'm happy. Will do the trick for our family room remodel.
