The color is more gray than brown. Easy to put together.

Found black mold and mildew on everything including a never used dog plastic pool, rotten beach chair plastic material including wooden arms, sogginess, awful smell from it, and roaches all in one bin! It destroyed all my blankets, pillows, pool supplies, and more! Spare your hard earned money!

I just bought this and I am kind of upset. The online picture shows a brown box (with no choice of color option given) so one would assume a brown box is what you will receive...but NOOO.... it is grey. So Tan stained and stamped concrete patio, clay colored house...big grey Deck Box. The actual box isn't bad and assembly was fairly straight forward if you follow the instructions. But be aware the online advertisement is off. If you want to see the actual color look at the photos in the reviews. I'd return it but am leaving for Florida in a few days so no time to get something different ...
