Is the black laminate surface glossy or more of a matte finish?

Satin? Maybe Semi-Gloss? I put Pictures down and bought a Piece of Glass for Protection. I'm using it as a Table/island in my Kitchen. Very Practical!

The finish is more or a semi-gloss. The thing you really need to be aware of is the fact that the laminate buckled badly on one of the stools with almost no use. Fortunately, the company replaced the stool top, but now there is evidence of some minor buckling on another stool. Very disappointing.

My opinion : Save your money, do not buy this table set. The seat tops and table top are made of rubber wood(wood from a rubber tree). The wood still has white latex in it. This latex ruins the appearance of the table top. The black, glossy finish comes off, reveling the white rubber wood. The stools jab at the back of the thighs. The metal parts are well made and finished.

It is slightly glossy but appears to have an anti-glare coating. I don't have a lot of light in front of it so reflections aren't bad.

Glossy. I like this computer so far. Backlit keys are very nice. Key board feels good.

It's glossy. I don't have problems during the day tho (my room is quite bright too) but at night I have to turn off all the lights cause the reflection is pretty strong.

Matte finish, not glossy at all. I used it for a reunion DVD project with minimal showing usage. In my opinion, I would never use it for commecial CD albums.

The back on mine looks like a matte black finish and the sides are a smooth shiny black

The black version is not glossy. It does seem to have a sort of glossy feeling on the sides but even that is not much. So to sum up, it is mostly not glossy.

It has a glossy finish. It does cause some glare, but not nearly to the extent I have witnessed on Plasma Tvs. Hope that helps

It is a combo of glossy and flat black. The pic only distorts it to " looking " grey. I like.

It's an expresso finish that really looks more like matte black. Not glossy. Just a smooth semi toned down black that is very neutral looking with the tan bed in it. Very happy with it and very easy to clean. Easy to assemble but you may need to use a bit if sturdy glue to keep the sides from popping off if you have an active or large dog. It was the best looking dog bed I found and is sturdy once you get it glued good. You could also opt not to out all the sides on. I put the back and one side on mine because my german sheperd likes to lay his paws off the side and stretch out.

It is a shiny black. I would have preferred matte as well, but in the end I was happy enough with the shiny, since the quality was much better than other decals I had looked at/purchased in the past.

The black part is a vinyl/faux leather. The wood part seems to be layers of pressed plywood (not a veneer or laminate).

The image of the item on Amazon is pretty accurate. It appears to be finished either with an oil or maybe some type of low-gloss polyurethane. The surface is matte (not glossy) and the texture is smooth but not glass-smooth. Hope this helps.

I would say it is a matte finish. I have it in my family room with a sliding glass door and I do not have any problems with glare or reflection. Colors and picture are beautiful and sharp. I normally sit directly in front, but have sat to the side at 30+ degrees and picture is still excellent.

It is a black but more with a little bit of a wood grain. Not a matte black finish nor is it shiny.
