I purchased two of these to replace a couple of poufs as foot stools.  The color shown in the photo is what I thought I would receive but I think I received the dark brown instead.  Don't want to hassle with a return so I'll live with them.  The cushions are as shown.  I am planning to upholster my own for a better look in my living room.  They seem to be well constructed and the price was right so I really can't complain.
