The smooth black isn't exactly high gloss,. nor is it flat matte finish. It closer to an egg shell (in paint terms).
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I would strongly recommend going to a store with a sample to see "smooth black" in person rather than rely on a photo. There are many Best Buys in Austin, Texas, but not all stores carry samples of all appliances. Look for a store with a Pacific Kitchen & Home section; it has the more samples. I even drove to San Antonio to view a sample of a model that interested me. You want to feel yourself using it and imagine it in your home. I took a sample of my flooring with me. I really love the appearance of black stainless steel and I almost went with it, until I read that the black coating often peels away, revealing the stainless underneath. If you want black, I believe that smooth black is better...and "blacker"...than black stainless and cheaper as well. Smooth black provides an appealing visual contrast to light cabinets.
