The listing describes the finish as espresso. My furniture is espresso and almost looks black; this piece looks more brown. Is it more brown or black?

The shelves are very dark, as dark as brown could be...but put up against real black they are brown.

Mine looks like a deep deep brown. Darker than my walnut stuff, but I probably wouldn't mistake it for black.

I pretty much agree with the other comments, more of dark, espresso brown, type color. Also, agree with Heather, about being poorly made and the finish coming off quickly.

It is dark brown, the color of expresso coffee, with black casters. The finish is semi-gloss. Hope this helps!

I would call it a really dark brown. We have an 'espresso' colored bookshelf right next to it (side by side) and they look like the same color to me.

I've got some furniture that is espresso and it's almost black, whereas this is definitely lighter than that.

It's a dark brown, I wouldn't call it espresso in color, but maybe a "chocolate for sure!

It is definitely darker than espresso which we had expected. More black. We like it as well and it blends in just fine with our espresso bookshelves on either side of the unit.

It's pretty dark espresso brown. If you don't put it next to each other, it probably wouldn't be too obvious. It's closer to black. But, if you put it side by side, you could see the difference. HTH. :)

It is a very dark brown. Expresso would be appropriate. It is very nice piece of furniture and I am very pleased that I purchased it.

I would not call it black. It's a deep brown with some reddish tones. It matches nicely with some of my other "espresso" color furniture.

Thank you for your interest in our product. The Espresso color is a dark brown color that has a red hint of glow. Where Black is pitch black. Espresso and Black would tell difference in both indoor lighting but most obviously under outdoor lighting. Thank you and have a wonderful day! --FurnitureMaxx

It's closer to espresso. It matches my other espresso furniture perfectly. Hope this helps.

Slight hue maybe. Medium brown with barker grain threw it. I have dark furniture and it blends fine. I think the piece is priced fair. Really does look nice.

It's brown. A dark brown but definitely not black. I love mine. Very nice looking piece of furniture

I would say not as dark as a true espresso but pretty dark brown. Very nice.

There is more than a brown hue than black but it is very dark. It goes with my black furniture pretty well. I do recommend the piece.

It's hard to make out in the product picture because they used cold lighting but it's more of a deep rich brown, like you'd expect of some furniture. I'd say it's...darker than milk chocolate and just lighter than dark chocolate if that helps at all..? Can't think of another reference at the moment."Espresso" works. But take into consideration that the room lighting will play a HUGE difference in your color. My nursery was more dimly lit so it seemed almost black. When I moved it to another room with large windows good sun exposure, it was unmistakably brown.
