I got the Gold version - mainly to try to match my bench a little better. It's really more of a khaki than a gold (opening it, the very first thing my wife said was "That's not gold.") Ironically, it does appear from their photos that the khaki version may be more gold. Hard to say.Like most foam items like this, it ships vacuum packed. That means you should spend a little time fluffing it up as well as give it some time to grow to its full size. The manufacturer recommends 48 hours. So, if you do have a sense of disappointment when you pull it out of the bag, it's shy, give it some time to get to know you.Once to its size, it is comfortable. It is rated for outdoor use, but the instructions do mention bringing it inside when not in use. That does give me a little concern about its lifespan (no, I don't intend on bringing it inside, though I will tuck it into the bench's storage area in bad weather).The bottom has a blueish fabric with the little no-slip dots. So far, slipping isn't an issue, but I have it on a plastic bench, so it is something I'll be watching for.Other than the color issue, it seems to be a nice softer place for us to sit now.
