The color is listed as "Chocolate" but the picture seems black to me. Is it a darker brown, or is it actually black?

It is very dark brown. However, I have it next to some black furniture and some chocolate furniture and it looks great by both.

This bookshelf is black. It is nice and sturdy. We placed it on it's side and have the TV on top, with books underneath. It was an excellent purchase.

I would say it is a very dark brown rather than black. Very close to black though. Matches very dark brown wood well.

It is a very dark chocolate, not black. The top of the desk is a lighter shade exposing/emphasizing the wood grain. The other side of the desk not shown in the picture is more beautiful and ornate than the front! I never write reviews on anything, but I always do when it pertains to this desk. Everyone that comes in my home office admires it and loves it.

It is definitely brown, but a very, very dark brown. Can't remember what they called it. I'd call it expresso. It looks to me like it could be scratched or marked easily. I have it in a "safe" area so not worried about that. It's very simple with straight lines .... very attractive. Good luck!

Sorry for the delay. It appears to be a very dark brown. Though honestly I'm not 100% sure.

The brown is very dark. Darker than the picture. I would describe it as rustic abut definitely not black.

It is VERY dark brown - as close to black as you can get without actually being black. But it looks great with my other espresso (dark brown) furniture.

It's a dark wood finish, but not almost black. I would describe it as closer to coffee grounds or a little lighter than dark chocolate. Not full black. It has warm brown tones to it that you can see. When I get home I can take a closer look and see what I can compare it to.

Its a rich chocolate brown with a slight red undertone. We have it with espresso dressers and those are almost black it looks a little mismatched to be honest.

Mine looked exactly like the picture. A chocolate brown with green tips. Hope that helps.

To me, its a dark brown roughly the color of Hersheys milk chocolate. We have a cantilever patio umbrella and it matches the finish of the pole & hardware perfectly.

It's comes much like the photo... I'd say "darkish" brown, definitely not really dark if that's what you are looking for but it is nice.

It only appears black in the photo. It is actually an extremely dark brown, more or less like coffee.
