What is the actual color of the metal? I know it says bronze but it looks black to me.

They are a very dark bronze. I wouldn't say quite black. But very dark brown.

Black. I painted mine with dabs of brown and gold to make it look like rusty brass and it looked gorgeous.

I mounted mine to the wall. If it comes with a stand, I didn't notice. It is black, not bronze as shown. Works well. Good quality. Just wasn't expecting black.

It has a matte black look from a short distance. The actual finish if a dark bronze,

The color of the metal is a brownish color, closer to bronze than silver. Hope this is helpful!

The color is gun metal. More of a dark silvery color, but much lighter than a wrought-iron not bronze.

Its bronze looking. Not as dark as the picture appears, and its not super heavy. Its not cast iron, lol. Heavy enough for a couple of people to sit on though. Hope that helps.

The color is a very dark copper brown but unless you are right in front of it, it looks black. It is a very nice piece.

Terry, I just went and looked and mine is brown. No bronze on the one I got.

I just got this in the mail and, to me, it's BLACK. I even double-checked the label to confirm the color. I really don't see how anyone would think this is "oil rubbed bronze". It is black in any light I hold it in AND it has no two-tone effect to it....hence the "rubbed" part.

The one I got is a dark bronze, which could easily show up as black in a picture. I never saw anything in white.

Hi Nolan,The wrought iron is most definitely black. I would have preferred a brown or bronze and wish that I had spray-painted it prior to assembly.

it looks like a very dark or oil rubbed bronze...it tends to get dusty and so can look black but is a very dark bronze...I am very happy with it

The color is neither bronze nor black. It is closer to a deep gunmetal(gray). This set of furniture BEAUTIFUL! It looks much more expensive than it is and is very sturdy. You won't regret this purchase.

I'd say it was more of a bronze colour. Definitely not a bright gold or silver.

James, I'll ytry to answer your question this way, it's neither black or silver, rather it's an antique hammered look that's varigated in color between dark gray with splotches of a semi rusty antique. So, my best guess is a bit of both but mostly a dark gray. for our need it's perfect in color. If you'd like I can send a close up pic, send me your email. Howard

I would say it is a dark bronze, not black like oil rubbed. It goes well with oil rubbed, that is what all my fixtures in that bathroom are including sink faucet. Hope this helps.
