I ordered brown in my opinion it seems like it has more gray tone. Assembly was a bit much. The doors do take a bit to get straight. The materials felt ok. It looks very good. It was packaged very well. I was very hesitant on ordering this item. I wouldn’t pay more than 200 for it though. So wait for it to go on sale.￼ Overall, if you’re on edge about ordering it and you want a dark brown just get the black. If you don’t like it, you can return it. The only problem is you would have to disassemble it. But it’s good to keep that in mind. Shipping was very fast.
