Which one are you drawn to? I really like the middle two- walnut and medium brown. Ultimately you are the one who has to live with it everyday so make sure you do something that makes you feel at home and not a stranger in your own home. All of your options are beautiful.

Go with the ebony!! We went with black bamboo and everyone that sees the living room and dining room, love it! I was uncertain also but WOW you will love the cool modern vibe it gives your house.

I like the first stain because it seems more neutral. You might think ebony is too dark once all of it is placed in your house. We are having a similar dilemma with our hardwood. It's not easy. Good luck.

Thanks all. I am going to check out Jacobean and possibly mixing it with Ebony 50/50.

I went with espresso.... and that is marginally too dark as all the light dust shows in early morning and late evening as sun comes in a low angles. I don't mind it as I'm not a neat freak and a bit of dust on hardwood floor is OK...I'll sweep before guests arrive. So if the room gets 'raking' light (low angle bright light) I'd stay pretty close to the left most (1st) stain. Personally, I like a little reddish undertone in my wood... for me, that's warmth that I don't get with the yellow undertone in a walnut wood or finish...but then, I grew up with Mahogany and an Irish Setter.
