We originally released the Armoire in Cherry and Barnboard finishes.   Due to popular request, we have now come out with "The MODERNE Black" - a stylish, contemporary finish.  The MODERNE Black is functionally identical to the Cherry and Barnboard versions -- same size, same equipment, same internals.  The price differential is because of the upgraded hardware (brushed stainless steel doors and legs) and black outer veneer. These were more expensive components thus we had to increase the price on this model - but it's entirely cosmetic.  Functionally, all three of the Armoire cabinets are identical.
