What it is for
Black is the finish that asks for the least attention which is why it turns up in more buildings than any other. It sits quietly against dark carpet and stone floors, hides scuffs better than chrome and never looks out of place next to whatever furniture the building already has. The cast iron base carries enough weight to stay put when someone leans on the belt and a full circumference rubber ring keeps it from marking the floor when your team drags it across the room. The belt retracts slowly instead of snapping back and each post takes belts from three other directions so a straight line becomes a corner or a switchback without buying anything extra.
