Dimensions were accurate (be sure to read questions and answers) so it fits in my cabinet. It is not a solid black, but more like mostly black-brushed metal with a brassy hue showing through. The wood dowels it sits on look unfinished, so I'm glad I didn't choose it for show, just storage. Very sturdy - happy with it overall although a bit pricey. Box it arrived in was HUGE with ++bubble wrap and air bags. Overprotected! Wayfair should do this with their products that aren't made from solid steel!
