Color is a nice brown bronze color. Again, this review is after initial use so I do not know about longevity. Corners were cut at pretty much every conceivable angle to produce this product. They were delivered very quickly and they are made so nice. After that inconvenience,everything was as it should be. These Cases are definitely worth it. My piece wasnt cute big enough for the top shelf and it doesnt fasten, just is kind of inlayed. My major disappointment with this rack is that the middle bar is constructed by 2 pieces together and there?s no vertical pillar type to hold the middle upright against extra weight. How I could wash and dry them and they always came out clean and perfect. Should have got a size smaller
