At first glance, these boxes seem made of an extremely massive material, looking like they were cast from concrete. Their color, furthermore, is rather cold: a somewhat dirty, light brownish grey, the boxes' appearance is anything but attractive. But at the latest when touching and handling them, you are surprised by their lightness, elasticity, and soft, very pleasant feel. Apparently it pays off not to trust first impressions.
