is it like a dark brown wood or more of a black?

It is a very, very dark brown. It could be mistaken for a black or used as 'black' if needed. The product photo is dead on as to the color of the shelves. However, you can see the brown in it when a lamp is on. (I have a lamp sitting on the top of it as I use 2 of them for bedside tables.)

It is a black but more with a little bit of a wood grain. Not a matte black finish nor is it shiny.

No, but it's a very dark wood... brown black I think is the best way to describe.

It is a very dark brown. It is not black, but very dark for a brown. Hope that helps..

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

Black, though it is a slightly lighter shade of black than the painted wood.

The picture is pretty accurate to mine. It's not that dark. It's a nice medium brown wood. I have darker and lighter furniture in the room and it right in the middle. Hope this helps. I love it.

It is a very dark brown, like an espresso color. It could almost pass for black.

It's very dark brown/ cherry. From far I almost responded saying black but upon getting a closer look its dark brown/cherry but its real dark so you can't tell much. Hope it helps!

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

it's like a dark brown. I thought it was black when I ordered it but it's not. it looks pretty close to black...but not quite.

It is dark chocolate color - with hints of brown and black. It looks like real wood. The color and texture look exactly like it does in the picture. We choose this because we have a mix of colors in our apartment, ranging from light brown to black. It complimented them well. It looks like a nice piece of furniture when it is all closed up.

it is a dark brown, it can be used as 2 tables but you will end up with some extra pieces that are not useful anything else

It is a very dark brown. Expresso would be appropriate. It is very nice piece of furniture and I am very pleased that I purchased it.

I don't believe it's real wood, it's like a pressed plastic'y wood. The color is dark brown/blackish. It's been on our wall in the office for a while with quite a few things in it. So far it's holding very well and we are happy with it

It is a real dark brown. I thought it was lighter too to match my current furniture but turned out darker than I thought.
