Looks much better in the online picture than in person. Looks more like a brownish black than a charcoal, as though it wasn’t painted very well and the wood color is seeping through. Some of the wood is chipped and the wood on the frame was pulled apart when it arrived. It was fixable but a hassle. Not too bad for the cost, but probably wouldn’t have bought it if I would have seen the quality of the product before purchase.
