When I ordered this table the color was listed as black. When I received the table the paperwork with it said antique black and the table is not black at all. I went back online and the color had been updated to antique black. The picture looks like a black table but it is actually a very dark brown with distressing and the distressing is obviously brown. Its a nice sturdy table and it was easy to put together but if youre wanting something that is actually black, this is not the table for you.
