I really love these!  I bought two of them for my deck.  They are made of a plastic material, but are very sturdy and well put together.  They can store all of my pool toys and chair cushions easily.  The color is just as you see in the photo.  They do not have any smell to them (as some plastics do).  They have held up in the hot son and in being hosed off from time to time.  Be sure to put them on a flat surface so they do not warp over time.  I put mine on a concrete deck and have had no problems in the year I have had them.  These look way more expensive in person--definitely do not look plastic-y!
