This box is not black like some other reviewer said, it is indeed brown. I purchased two to house my patio set cushions and they more than adequately do so. Matter of fact they are so big I only need 1 to do so, the other I will use on my deck for the grill & all it's accessories. I figured they would not be much bigger than the ones in the store but boy was I wrong, they are huge. Seem pretty sturdy, I would recommend they are worth the price. Kind of tall to use as seating although I will anyway, short people beware..... I am 5'7 & my feet dangle LOL!
