Please--the term "brown" describes a whole range of hues. Why type of brown is the stain? Warm? Cool? Like Mahogany? Walnut? Espresso?

It is a darker wood. I'd say more mahogany. It is not a light colored wood. NOT maple. NOT espresso. A beautiful darker wood piece.I'd agree with the statement: "dark and rich". This table is my prized piece of furniture. I LOVE it.... so much that we have one in our vacation rental AND in our home.

I would call it mahogany. Not sure about the "warm/cool" aspect, but I would describe it as dark and rich.

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!

Yeah, I ordered the brown. It's pretty close to what is shown in the display. Not great for an espresso table. Ah well, safety first.

I would say definitely more in the brown walnut finish. We are very happy with these chairs, good sturdy every day chairs for around our island.

Slight hue maybe. Medium brown with barker grain threw it. I have dark furniture and it blends fine. I think the piece is priced fair. Really does look nice.

The Capp. Color is a very dark brown with almost a cherry sheen on it. I see the reddish more because my table is darker . More of an espresso . It's a nice piece . Can't beat the price.

VERY similar. There are color variations in the stain as the picture indicates that vary enough the cabinet could blend with many finishes. Those areas that appear lighter think would be called a "golden oak" and the areas that appear darker have warm browns to almost a cherry or mahogany appearance especially in the detail work. My cabinet is beautiful and has already gotten many compliments. The way this has been stained gives it a very european olde world look. Hope that helps

Mine was in espresso; a very dark brown. It looks great but has a cruddy lock on it.

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.

There are different color/stain options for this set. I'm happy with the set, but I ordered it in "espresso", which really was more of a dark brown/walnut kind of color. If you're not sure if the "black" version is really black, I would ask the seller or see if other reviewers have commented on the color.

Warm brown walnut is the best description. If you have other walnut nearby, this will blend right in. Espresso, to me, is black and this cabinet is not black.

It is a deep, rich dark brown. "Espresso" is a very apt description. It is beautiful and I am very pleased with it.

Well, there are different shades of black :) I think they look like an espresso color. They are a very deep brown not light like a walnut color.

It is much closer to black. It is a popular tone for furniture and accessories. If you can probably find espresso stuff in a home goods store or section.

We would definitely call it brown with maybe a slight bent toward merlot, in the right light. For all intents and purposes, it's brown. We bought it for a home office to go with a cherry wood colored desk and it's fine, but I don't know that I'd do it for a true office. As far as comfort and durability, it's been great.

I have 'found" many old pieces that were walnut stained, but needed help. I sanded them down a little. I gave them a light coat of cherry stainand they look just like this. Walnut with a touch of cherry . So I invented espresso and await my royalties for my invention.

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.
