Buy something in black if that's what you need.
However I fail to see how a dark wood is going to offer up reflection issues.

There is plenty of shops that sell them, why don’t you just buy from another shop that has black if you are buying new?

Go with what you like 😁
I doubt as "AI ears" said it will offer up reflections.
I can go further than that as I have a beach wood entertainment cabinet directly below a TV which even as a brighter colour doesn't reflect any light being a nonreflective ruff surface as wood is it absorbs more light.
What can be a problem though with walnut (even treated) is fading or bleaching as it's sometimes called in sunlight especially if direct ie near a window etc.

i am from india bro. i am getting s2-3 black at half rate of s3-4. i dont want 4 shelves as i would put centre on top of it. much difference between quality s2 and s3?There is plenty of shops that sell them, why don’t you just buy from another shop that has black if you are buying new?

I doubt it for an AV rack. I would probably go cheaper, they both look nice.

If it is matt finished wood as the images above suggest then I doubt you’d be bothered by reflections. Inevitably you may get some scatter but I’m sure you’d soon not notice, unless you turn off every light source - I prefer background lighting but we are all different!
Our 55” OLED TV sits on a mid-shade oak unit and we get no reflection of light that I’ve ever noticed.

It’s up to you. It sounds like you could do with the extra money though, so why not.

Sorry, I don’t really know the difference. But whatever suits the space, your requirements and your wallet!

Why does it have to be Solidsteel? I presume you do have other shops and makes in India?

Apparently the S4 range has wider shelf space than the S3 range and can hold more equipment than the slim ranges.
Solidsteel racks
Hey all, I'm a longtime lurker and new member of this fine site. I'm interested to hear what folks think of Solidsteel racks. I'm in the market for a good, very stable 4-shelf rack that won't put me in the poorhouse, and I've kinda dialed in on Solidsteel. I love the looks of Quadraspire...

No, I mean the space in your room that you wish to fill with some AV shelving.
