LOVE this shelf.  It is a very unusual design and complimented our remodel perfectly.  It is labelled as "espresso" in color but is very close to black which is the color of our vanity.  My one "con" is that this is NOT an easy install.  The anchors provided in the kit are worthless.  They left holes in the wall and we had to replace them with better quality ones.  It would be nice if the manufacturer would provide better ones.  Otherwise we love it.  Do not be put off by the time estimated to ship it.  Ours came really fast!
