This should be an unusual question on this forum since most of the threads are very technical and about performance.

I am getting ready to place an order for Sierra towers and I'm torn between espresso and natural. I am leaning towards natural/wood-grain but a web search did not get me many picture samples. Dina has graciously sent me some pics but I am not able to visualize how they'd look in an average home setup.

Do members have any insights to offer on this topic? Or pics of their setup if willing?

I also got to know natural is not the popular choice for towers. Now I am curious why that is the case. Are darker colors better for HT setups?

Thanks!
