Would I be able to stain the top to match my hand made table?

I don't know because I have never stained wood, but you probably can try since this bench is made of wood vice plastic. Hope this helps.

If you sand it pretty well I would think so. It has a semi shiny top coat already...

It is made of composite and I do not think it could be stained. Hope this helps.

I would think you would have to use a paint on a wood stain. Even then you would probably have to do all four for a good match.

You cannot stain this piece as it is not a real wood surface, but vinyl. With a good primer you may have some luck painting it.

I don't think it's natural wood, but pressed wood, and the bottom is not stained, but the top has a shiny coating of some sort on it. I love it just the way it is, but if you wish to stain it a different color, then you can just sand the top - that should work.

I would use a paste wood polish and apply it by hand with a pad or soft rag. Use the buffer to shine when the polish has set a few minutes. Don't overdo it by exerting a lot of pressure on the table top.

Sorry not to reply sooner. You probably can't stain it, but you could paint over it. Or you could use a spray lacquer, like Mohawk spray lacquer. You could also look into countertop paint. Rustoleum makes a counter top paint. We used the cheaper variety which is about $20 which, honestly didn't give us a very good finish. But we are planning to redo the entire kitchen in a couple of years and it is good enough right now. Hope this helps and we are not too late.

Thus paint adheres well. Try it on something like a wine glass to get a feel. Then, create a template or stencil for your table top design.. use a damp sponge to clean up.smudges etc.

the wood 'strips' are oriented the long way so most of the grain pattern runs that way. However, some of the strips especially the shorter ones have different grain orientations. Overall, I think this enhances the look.Yes, you can stain the top. We used a 'darkening stain' to give the maple a yellowish hue which matches are existing maple cabinets in our kitchen.

The table was unfinished. It stained really well! I'm sure it would be easy to paint. I love this table!

I stained it but I used a cinnamon color to match my son's existing furniture. I got (minwax I believe) a rub on stain and it was EASY to do & not very messy. They have tons of colors & I picked up at my local Menards. Rubbed it on with a rag and that was it!

For the most part yes. The stain is the same, the carving has open areas that give most of the texture, but it looks carved by hand, so it isn't uniform like a machined would be a perfect match.

Yes, but it takes a great deal of expertise to get a good match. Many finishes on production furniture are sprayed on with a colored pigment as opposed to stained and then sprayed with or coated with a clear finish. Cherry also darkens with age naturally, so you have to take that into consideration as well. If you how the existing cabinets were finished, it might make it easier to get a decent match.

any wood could be stained, but it is very plain wood , like maple or pine that is not meant to be stained.it looks nice anyways.

You could apply stain as soon this is dry to the touch, I'm guessing, but I wouldn't apply this product and then try to stain. This products turns the wood green to dark green, and no stain will look right if applied on top. I applied this product to some posts and then stained it, and you clearly can see where the CopperCoat ends close to the ground line.

If you have the patience to sand the cut-outs in the top then I don't see why not! The top is not a flat piece but decorate cut-outs.... So I would think it would be tedious. The white finish is not flat... But antiqued. I would think the distressed finish may make the sanding process easier. Enjoy!

If it is a smooth sanded cedar then yes you will have slippery issues. Stain would work better.
