Is the espresso finish at all reddish, or more a flat dark brown? Some "espresso" finishes are warmer like cherry. I'm trying to match another brand.

The unit is more brown. With that being said, if you need a new piece from Storkcraft when putting the unit together, they ask you numerous questions about where the unit was made, the lot number and when it was manufactured. This tells me that even their own furniture does not match other pieces from month to month or year to year. They do not consistently match their stains.

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.

Mine is espresso brown but I think it came in both colors when I ordered it last year. Also, I keep mine out on my patio where it was exposed to all the elements and it remained in perfect condition as the day I put it outside. I have been very pleased with my purchase.

This piece is very dark espresso in color. If you have it in a room brightly lit then maybe you would see more of the brown but my living room is not that well lit and it definitely looks black. I have black and other espresso furniture and they all blend well together.

The espresso baskets are very very dark brown. They aren't a true black but may look that way in dim lighting.

I don't know what the color espresso looks like, but it appears to be a dark brown.

It is hard fpr me to describe, but it is basically a brown with bright highlights and black wood grain lines. It look like a dark cherry without the reddish hue. perhaps a dark mocha (not enough milk) . For me espresso is Black the way I like it.FYI; Considering the price I have been very happy with this desk.

I have a LOT of "espresso" colored furniture and this piece is hands down on the redish side. It's definitely NOT black... just a deeper brown with a hint of red.

I would suggest something with an espresso finish. The color is dark and rich looking, definitely a dark brown and not black.

The espresso color is a very dark brown, but it is still distinctly a dark shade of brown. I wouldn't say it's that close to black.

Depends on which color you're looking at. The one I got was called espresso and it's very dark and yes, has a reddish tint. There's also a lighter oak color offered.

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.

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

i would say it is more black than brown. it's labelled as espresso (brown-black?) though.

I bought the espresso one so obviously it was already stained and finished. But I'd say this one is probably too, just finished with the gloss over natural. It's the same product and price, just different color. If assume anything that required staining or gloss would specify unfinished wood.

It is dark - not that esspresso black/brown but more of a dark brown with a bit of reddish undertone. Hope that helps. I love mine!
