Is the "espresso" color really as light as shown in the photo? In the photos, it looks much lighter than most "espresso" stained furniture.

The color is better described as an 'Espresso wash' as it is a bit lighter than other espresso-stained furniture. Thanks for your interest - BestDealsInc

The espresso color doesn't seem to e accurate at all. Mine was marked espresso, but in reality looks a lot like the cherry pictured one. I was hoping for it to be accurate to the medium brown shown in the picture.

Mine is much darker than pictured. I'm starting to wonder if I got the cherry one in a box marked espresso by mistake..

I agree, the color is a bit darker than pictured. I wasn't expecting it to be so dark.

I believe that the photo is quite accurate. It's a very whimsical crib. We're very happy. Hope that helps!

Definitely espresso - lighter than picture in person - clearly brown not black.

I have mine in a room with both espresso and black furniture, and it looks fine. However, the legs do look pretty black, so it might not work for you.

It's not too dark as the espresso . It's almost a deep Mahogny . Beautiful!!

It's a dark brown in daylight. A nice espresso color if you will. Doesn't look super dark/black unless it's nighttime. It's a beautiful set!

It's hard to make out in the product picture because they used cold lighting but it's more of a deep rich brown, like you'd expect of some furniture. I'd say it's...darker than milk chocolate and just lighter than dark chocolate if that helps at all..? Can't think of another reference at the moment."Espresso" works. But take into consideration that the room lighting will play a HUGE difference in your color. My nursery was more dimly lit so it seemed almost black. When I moved it to another room with large windows good sun exposure, it was unmistakably brown.

I'd say it is light. Not ecru, not cafe au lait, but a pleasing natural color.

The oatmeal color is a light beige not yellow as it may look. The espresso wood is a very dark brown.

I thought the same thing. The leather is black, the legs are espresso. We have mostly espresso furniture and it blends very well, it does almost appear espresso. Beware though, the table scratches insanely easy! I can't imagine how bad its going to look next year. We are very careful with it but it is our everyday dining table so if you are purchasing it for an everyday table you might want something more durable...

That was also my concern Mary, but I went ahead and ordered the Espresso color and I'm glad I did! It's a rich dark color, true to its name (Espresso).

I would call it more of a dark cherry color. It's not so dark to be called espresso and a bit more of a dark reddish tint than walnut. It still looks nice though. The cream baskets help soften it.

it is not distressed it is a solid Espresso color. FYI it is differ cult to put together.

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.

It was fairly light. I stained it dark walnut to match the cabinet I installed it into.

I would say it's dark brown, but I wouldn't call it espresso. To me it has a hint of reddishness...enough so that we have it paired with a cherry crib and it doesn't look mismatched. I wouldn't pair it with a flat dark brown.

It is definitely darker than espresso which we had expected. More black. We like it as well and it blends in just fine with our espresso bookshelves on either side of the unit.

Espresso might be a little darker...I have cappucino and it is dark enogh. That is all I can suggest
