Is this an old fashioned black board or is the black board have a gloss to it?

Well, it's not real slate, but it's also not glossy - more of a matte surface. I use it every day and love it, but good luck getting one that isn't cracked, chipped or punctured. It's shipped in thin cardboard brown craft paper with no protection - I received three and they were all damaged. I did receive a full refund for each though - they have good customer service.

There was no gloss on my board. It's like what they used in schools before the white boards. However, I did chalk it before I used it for the time. I recommend doing that.

It does not have a glossy finish. More like the ones you found in classrooms years ago. I love mine!

I would have to say it's a matte-satin finish. Definitely not flat or gloss.

Not glossy like glass, but it is black.Kind of like a satin finish.When I say not like glass, it is not glossy like a new car finish.It is a very nice looking, heavy and sturdy desk.

I would say it's between those two options. It is not like a black lacquer, high-gloss finish. But it looks black with just a hint of very dark brown. I'm nearly 70, disabled and a woman without a lot of experience with these projects. Yet, I managed to put this together almost on my own. I needed a bit more brute strength to get the last end on and to stand it up and put it into place. I won't say it was easy, but can be done. I am very pleased with this piece.

Semi gloss I think. Love it! We have tv on wall in a corner and the cabinet looks beautiful under it!

It does have black trim & accents. We have a cherry wood set & it looks great. Love this set, doesn't include a bunch of extras that you can't really use!

The color is "antiqued black" and "cherry" The cherry is the desktop surface, the antiqued black is everything else. It only comes in this one color.

It is particle board, but thick and heavy. For the price, it is good quality.

It's a thick stiff board. Sort of looks and feels like foam board, but it doesn't bend and is much stiffer and more rigid.

The item is exactly as pictured. This thing is awesome. My husband and I bought one for our house and one for his parents. The board has the traditional colors all around, it's not all white. Hope this helps!

The trucks are the only generic parts of the board. They're unmarked. That being said, It's a great board for the price.

Yes! It is the older 1992 version. The board is of great quality. The little indicator is basic plastic but the board is gorgeous!! You won't be disappointed.

Yes, but a matte finish, not any kind of gloss. The real trouble I encountered was in the assembly. You essentially build two halves, but getting and keeping them together goes way beyond the instructions.
