First off, we did not put this together ourselves.  It took two handyman types about 3 hours to assemble it. So it's not an easy project to assemble. 

BUT... it is a lovely, big, solid useful piece of furniture. And it was exactly what we needed.  We needed a lot more storage for clothes, and this is perfect for us.  The pictures are quite accurate. We got the expresso and it's a dark brown finish.    We're extremely happy with it.
