Is this espresso brown "almost" black -- or just a dark brown? How would it compare to Ikea "brown-black" color?

Very dark brown. Yes, similar to Ikea's 'brown-black'. Even in low light it retains the dark-brown color.

Not sure how to answer this... It is a very dark brown , when I compare it to an actual piece of black furniture it looks very dark brown, not black. I've never seen the Ikea color, so no help there.

It's a very dark espresso color. We have black couches and dark stained wood and it looks great with both.

Super dark espresso brown, almost black. Near a window it would probably show more of the brown, less black... but in my tiny hallway it's practically black...

It's a rich dark brown. I would call it espresso. A REALLY great desk!!! We have been thrilled!!!

It is very close to black, but you can tell it is a shade of brown. I would describe it as the color of really strong coffee. I do have my set in my living room with other pieces that are black and a tan couch and it looks great though!

There are 2 choices for this ottoman, black or dark espresso. I ordered the dark espresso and it is a very dark brown.

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.

When I sold furniture, we would refer to this as an Espresso. From a distance or low light it can appear black, but it's black with some brown in there.

It is just as shown in the picture, it is a dark espresso brown so closer to a dark blackish wood but not a solid black color. For the money it is great.

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

If you ordered espresso the parts should be dark brown. There was probably a mix up and they sent you the wrong color.

Hi! It looks black and I thought it was black when I ordered. But, when it came, it is espresso.

maybe it looks different in the pictures due to lighting, but they are a dark espresso brown- near black. Also note the leather is ivory, not pure white. Buy it!

I would describe it as the warm brown walnut, a little darker than pictured, not as solid or dark as the typical espresso finish. It's really lovely and goes with lots of decor. I've had a million compliments on it, too, for style and function. Love this piece.

I agree with Carson...it's more of a dark brown and definitely falls more in the "espresso" range that other companies use.

It is definitely dark brown to black! It is quite dark brown - like espresso bean brown. We were pleasantly surprised at the lovely shade. The finish is slightly shiny - not super glossy. It is not even close to any shade of cherry or red.

It is like a dark brown/espresso. Ours is just a little darker than the picture.
