Product is actually espresso in color, but looks grey in the picture.  This was the main reason I purchased it...I wanted the Espresso color.  I"m very happy with this product.  My kids are wonderful with taking their shoes off and placing them in the cubbies.  

Pros: Color is what I wanted (espresso), sturdy, works well for my mudroom
Cons: wish the shoe compartments were a bit wider to place adult male shoes side by side, rather than folded into each other
