Is it white? Do I need to stain it before installation? Any special stain to use? I am looking for something maple to go around a fireplace. Also, do I need to nail it or adhesive/liquid nail is good enough? Thx

The molding is tan. I placed it along the bottom of my fireplace to cover the gap left by a laminate floor. I left it the color that it is and it looks fine but it can be painted. You can use finish nails like you would with a wood molding. Liquid nails will probably work as well.

My carpenter only opened the box and saw it was NOT WHITE. I had ordered a white one.... however we did notice that the hinges were ON the doors... we did not even take the door out of the box we just taped the box shut and called for a pickup to send it back. Their labeling is not right.... The label said White but it was raw wood.... Good Luck

As far as I know it only comes in white. Also I just put mine together and it si rather confusing to say the least. You also have to be careful not to split the wood.

Hi Karen,This piece doesn't have any sort of sealant on it. The wood is fairly light and you should be able to stain it but don't take my word on that. I don't do much on that front.

Hi. Its a medium dark finish. Its not oak or cherry but its not a super dark wood either. Hope that helps.

If you can't stand beautiful natural wood, I guess spray paint would work. From many angles, allowing dry time between sprayings.Luv mine. Can't imagine painting it.

Jac I have a New England arbors post light in my front yard and the color is white, it has been there for about three years and it still looks like new. I have had a lot of compliments on it. I also put my street address on it and they are in goldtone numbers. I'm sure that it could be painted a different color although it is a PVC texture, so you would have to take it by a paint store and asked them what type of pay would stick to the texture of the PVC. I hope that your post turns out as well as mine, and hope that you get as many compliments as I have had about my post and light. By the way, I mounted my post over a 4 x 4 post to give it more strength which was a good idea. J Howell Jacksonville Florida

I'm wondering if you coat with Water Seal before or after assembly. I want to be sure it gets assembled correctly before I do anything to it (in case of needing to return product) but I don't really want to take it back apart to water seal. I guess I answered my own question, but it would be great if any experts out there could offer some advice. The wood smells great!

The one that I received has a stain on it. I put a scratch on mine by accident and you can see the natural wood underneath. I took a stain stick and went right over it and you can not tell. It does not have a shinny finish as it looks like it does in this picture. Mine has a dull finish. I am very happy with mine - just wished it was a little longer.

It is a relatively dark stain, so I would say it's more of a chestnut color. That said, we have dark cherry furniture and, while not a match, it looks fine. If your furniture is a light cherry, the piece won't be a close match.

It's stained and looks good the way it is. Natural cedar doesn't usually have this reddish color to it, almost like a pecan. Would be a good idea to spray a non-gloss sealer over it, however.

It has no finish. It's the original wood. You can paint it or varnish it yourself.

Mine was made in poplar, not a hardwood. It arrived without any finish and could be stained or painted as desired

It's Parawood / rubberwood. Pretty hard and dense. It has a nice smooth grain and darker cellular divits (?) vs. the surrounding main grain noticable after staining; similar to mahogany. I was planning on painting the legs as well, but the wood was so nice, I couldn't stomach it. Needed at least two to three stain coats (used Minwax Cherry) to complete evenly. Make sure to rub excess off shortly after each coat or there will be darker areas. Used two coat of Shellac for final and beautiful!

Its made of wood with stain. I think you can paint but you need to remove the stain. You can buy stain remover at home depoh.

No idea what kind of wood it is, actually it isn't solid plank, it looks like flooring (pieced together like a hardwood floor) on top. The wood is very white, probably good for painting if you don't like the look of the wood, there were a couple of small knots here and there, but it's very sturdy and I really like it, although I got a different knob for it at Home Depot.

I compared the color of my console to the Minwax stain color chart (I'm not well versed in wood colors) and it most resembles the Colonial Maple. It's a nice piece of furniture by the way. Very attractive and sturdy.
