I bought two of these benches to match a dark brown table and a set of dark brown chairs with black cushions (table and chairs were from separate sets).  The wood is a dark color (espresso) and the cushions are black.  The benches match the table and chairs perfectly!  Nice, solid construction.  My husband assembled them himself.  They are comfortable.  Two adults can fit comfortably (3 if they squish or are children).  They look great in our dining room and the sale price was perfect!
