Solid bench which will last a long time. The metal frame is a dark smooth brown. Nice thick cushions arrived in separate packaging from frame. Frame was fairly simple to build with 6 to 8 screws. We placed it on large card board box flattened to build on. Quality cushion covers come separately and zip closed.  I left clear plastic sealed bags on cushions for added protection before adding Mist colored covers. Mist color is blend of medium mint green. We will enjoy this bench on a covered veranda. Looking forward to a summer afternoon nap on the big cushions )
