Does it look brown or black?

Mine looks dark brown, but I've seen some reviews that say the color is blotchy and some say it is black. I will tell you I only gave this thing 1 star. I wouldn't buy another one, the parts didn't fit together well, the doors don't line up or stay closed, the finish wasn't that great. In fact, one of the locking screws stripped out when I used it. It is wobbly, I wouldn't put anything of value in it.

It's black. At least on mine, I don't see any hints of dark brown! Hope this helps :)

I would say it's more dark brown than black, though difficult to distinguish at a distance.

Upclose you can tell its a very very dark brown but from a few feet away it looks black.

It is very black not brown at all. I really enjoy this bookcase as it is constructed of a very thick and stable wood and matches my other black furniture beautifully

It's a brown/gray. It looks grayer in the photo than it looks in real life.

Dark dark brown. I wondered also because it is almost black, but I like it.

No, but it is darker than it looks. Some people say it looks black and others say they can tell it is a dark brown.

This is a very, very dark brown. I have two black ones, and since this one looked so dark, I gave it a chance (not right next to the black ones), and I love it.

Mine is black not dark brown. I even took other black objects to put up against to make sure i wasnt color blind....it is black.

It's definitely brown. It is sort of aged/antiqued so it is not a solid uniform brown color.

For those of you still wondering, it a blackish brown -- a brown so dark, it looks black.

It's a really really dark brown. Only with direct light on it can you tell it's brown. Otherwise, looks pretty much black.

It is very dark brown. However, I have it next to some black furniture and some chocolate furniture and it looks great by both.

It is a very, very dark brown to the point it almost looks black. Hope that helps!

Very dark brown. Looks black unless you have something that's actually black right next to it.
