On each leg, there is a weird light colored blotch which cannot be attributed to natural differences in wood grain.  I ordered cream and got beige.  I’m not sure if they sent me the wrong color or if the “cream” is actually beige.  No one would put that “cream” in their coffee.  Having said all that, the bench looks nice in my bedroom and was easy to put together.  Fortunately the blotches on the wood aren’t noticeable.
