Product says it is parawood. I googled it and it's hardwood similar to maple. But is it peachy like maple or yellow like pine? I do not want yellow!

I have it sitting next to a pine couch and I'd have to say the table is more peach than yellow. I didn't stain either piece, just rubbed in beeswax.

It is more of a pine color, but I wouldn't say it's yellow. It's a really nice light wood, like the color of unfinished wood in a craft store.

It's not yellow. It's white. I stained my using a dark, cherry-like oil based stain. It looks nice, but the parawood doesn't have nice graining like maple. All-in-all it's not a bad piece of furniture for the price.

Mine has been stained, and the result is definitely not pine looking to me. I wish it were. It looks closer to yellow than pine I am afraid. Perhaps if the staining were done differently you might have a different result, but as I had said in my review, this table was difficult to stain according the the fellow who did it. Each section (Leg, top, drawer face) seemed to "take up" the stain differently. Over the stain he put polyurethane. That may be what is causing the yellowish effect. There is no hint of grain I would like to see. His (and therefore my) recommendation was to buy this if your intention was to paint it. It would be a lovely little table to paint. (hint-hint).

Not sure exactly what kind of wood, but it is a hardwood with a yellow oak coloured stain.

It's solid hardwood. It's stained very dark. It might be cherry, not sure. I was a bit disappointed in the darkness of the stain. I prefer a more natural look but the lazy susan is well made and works well.

I agree with previous comment, it's not hardwood. In fact, I would say it's probably not even pine. I suspect it's some [semi-soft] wood of asian origin. However, it seems sturdy enough for the purpose - a kids bed that will see plenty of abuse. It won't be a family heirloom but I think it will hold up until my soon is old enoungh to outgrow it. I am faily picky about having quality furniture and I am satisfied that I got what I paid for. Hope that helps.

The lighter color was more yellowish than I would have liked. If you had the right decor colors it would look great. It's just that we have a lot of natural wood; pine, cedar, hickory and the yellowish tint doesn't really go. Otherwise I'm real happy with them. They stay put, even when you vacuum over them. Hope this helps.

based on the cost and the weight, I assumed that it is probably made of pine and stained dark. In my inspection, i believe i was right. I do see the grain of wood so it is not compressed wood. It is actually quite beautiful and well made for how little I paid. It does look great with my cherry furniture in the guest room.

I think its solid wood, but its definitely not hard wood. Its not like maple or something like that.

The color looks like an the dark oak stain to me. This color finish is often called a walnut stain. It is close in appearance to the color in the picture when it is expanded. I have an old oak headboard that I was trying to match both in style and in color. It matches in color fairly well, maybe very slightly redder than my headboard but not noticeably. It will likely fade in color somewhat over the years. I was pleased with this purchase.

I had oak. They are very uniform. I have totally 8 hangers, only one was in different color, and that one was ordered alone much later, and I didn't specify the color. It's installed in my downstairs living room, separate from others which are installed upstairs. So it didn't matter. All my units are in oak. They look similar to what's in the picture. I didn't know they had walnut, maple & cherry, but I did want to avoid different shades. They turned out pretty good. Thanks for the asking. Good luck!

I don't know if it is possible to tell from the blocks but in my opinion they are simply chunks of wood and are treated with nothing. If you went to the local lumber yard and cut up a bunch of 2X4s I suspect you would have the same product. I believe the wood is actually maple rather than pine though. This is a very good simple product.

It looks like oak to me. It has a little darker tone to it, but I wouldn't characterize it as reddish. If I were to compare it to another wood, I would say a light walnut.Hope that helps.

I would say it is more like cherry color, but not oak as the grain is very fine and smooth looking.

Sorry for the delay in responding, just catching up with my email.I cannot be sure about what type of wood the pieces are made of.It seems to be a tight-grained, light hardwood, not softwood.Looks a lot like boxwood, especially the end-grain, but again, I cannot be sure.The dark pieces appear to be of the same type of wood, but stained, not painted.

I'm not sure what kind of wood but it's dense and light colored. It might be hickory.
