Does this look black or more of a brown color like the espresso description suggests?

That was my exact dilemma...it is dark enough that it looks black. And it is very sturdy>>FYI it is a "Media Tower" not a "BOOKSHELF".

black with a slight hint of brown but only visible in the right light. If you are looking specicaly for a chocolate brown shelf than this is not it

no its more black but i wouldn't buy it, its way over priced for the quality of the shelf.

Mine is very dark, looks black to me. And just FYI, it is ok if you secure it to the wall and dont plan to ever move it. It is not a sturdy shelf and not made very well.

I guess it depends on lighting, but looking at it from across the room, it's nearly black

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

Espresso is a brown that can be so dark that sometimes you have to look twice to make sure it isn't black. The baskets were dark but not as dark as some of my espresso furniture pieces. You can tell they are brown.

Not black for sure. It is espresso. Very nice. I like it. Hope I help. Dana

It is dark espresso. There is a maple wood grain in it but the finish is very dark so the wood grain is very subtle. Pictures reflect the finish as seen under a bright light.

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.

It is sold as espresso, and is a very very dark brown that looks almost black. Allot of furniture has that color finish these days. It's well built, and sturdy with heavy canvas stitched straps, and not stapled.

I think espresso would be darker.it does look like you see in the picture. The wood is beautiful, it doesn't look cheap.

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 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 an espresso brown. Dark brown. It holds up extremely well. We've had pets and toddlers crawling all over it and the leather looks like new.

It's a very dark brown/cherry. Not an Espresso black/brown if that's what you're looking for.

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

It is more on the black side than espresso. It is definitely darker than how it appears in the picture.I am quite pleased with it though considering the price point.The drawer is a very handy feature.

It's dark espresso. Put it beside black, and you can see the difference. Stick it into a relatively dark space in a room, and it may look black.

It actually appears to be a very dark espresso brown. Almost black. I was pleasantly surprised at how sturdy it is. Great value.
