Mine is black. And I love this shelf! I did add pictures of my shelf in my home, it's the one with all of the liquor bottles.

It's really hard to give an exact answer. It is a very very dark brown. It looks like wood with a black stain on it. For the most part, it is black. If you were to put it in a room with black furniture, it would be fine. It would be out of place with brown.

The shelves are black. They are great shelves. I have 3 and am thinking about ordering a 4th.

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

Ours looks quite black to me. I didn't see anything brown about it. Hope that helps.

It is very dark brown, but not black. In some lighting the table top looks almost black, but if you have it in natural light or a room with lots of light you can tell it is dark brown. Hope this helps!

It's a dark brown. If you google this item you'll get a better idea of the color, for some reason the picture in Amazon makes it look more black than brown. It's a nice dark brown color.

It is truly brown/black...not flat black nor brown. It is "warmer" than black. I hope that helps. If not, I suggest you look at some furniture to get a "feel" for the color. It's quite popular.

Yes ma'am more on the brown side but very dark brown. Not bad up against my black refrigerator but they are not in the same room. Hope this helps!

Hey bro. It's a dark brown. Almost mohagany. I did have an issue with this company. They neglecte to include some hardware for the keyboard drawer. They resent all new hardware but the part I need was still missing

The label on the box says gray, but it looks dark brown to me. Perfectly matches my other brown patio furniture. Go figure!

The ones i received a little darker than the picture. I would say they are more of a dark brown, but would really call it a black-brown. I have them on a brown sectional and they look PERFECT! I think also the color of your furniture may make them look a little lighter or darker. I LOVE them and think they are a Great value for the money!!

The picture is pretty accurate to mine. It's not that dark. It's a nice medium brown wood. I have darker and lighter furniture in the room and it right in the middle. Hope this helps. I love it.

The color is Expresso as advertised. I do not know if it comes in black elsewhere. Depending on your lighting conditions, it could look black. The expresso color is a very dark color. The room that I currently have it in has dim lighting, so it appears to be black. It sits next to a walnut colored entertainment center giving it that appearance. I currently have one of the shelves on my leg, and I'm wearing black sweat pants. You can tell its dark brown. I suppose if you are good with woodwork, you could always paint or stain it black.

In the light, the table looks primarily black to me with hints of dark brown. Either way, I like it! Hope that helps.

Cant be sure. It looks like a very dark brown, but I wouldnt argue with anyone who says it black. I will go with brown however

super dark brown andI love it... it really is not black! I have a black bench in that same room and if you move them side-by-side you can tell the slight difference :)

If you look closely, I would say dark dark brown. It looks more towards black.
