Exactly as shown - nice matte black finish. Installation was straight forward. I'm giving it a 4 instead of a 5 because of a small detail: The screws that attach the top to the wall/ceiling are visible after installation and are silver. It would be very easy for the manufacturer to switch these to black and then they would disappear, creating a seemless black look. We have switched them out ourselves. Very happy with the functionality of this Range Hood.
