Yes it can. You may have to use an extra coat of paint for complete coverage though.

Yes, it can. You have to be careful about wiping the stain as it may dry unevenly even when you think you've wiped it properly. I ended up doing two coats of a dark cherry stain but got the desired finish in terms of color.

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.

If you have dark brown furniture, it will blend in very well. However, it is a dark brown BRONZE color. Hope this help.

Hi Jojo, my personal opinion would be the brown. It is a light/dark chocolate brown and would likely go nicely with your beige flooring. I too have beige floors, but have oak cabinets and I love the look of the brown mats on the floor. You could then use burgundy accents on your countertop appliances, knick-knacks, etc. I personally like to keep my basics more on the neutral side and then be able to change out with whatever decoration colors I want.

Hello: dark cherry finish - I stained mine even darker to match cabinets and they looks awesome!

I have a dark brown sink so there my be a difference. I have found with the dark brown I use dish detergent, HOT water, and one of those "scrubbers" that you use on dishes. The soap cleans it, the "scrubber" gets into the texture of the sink, and the hot rinse gets any residue. Hope this helps. The cleaner seemed to leave a film, which you would not get with a lighter color.

No. You need to put highlight or bleach. This is a color glaze toner. No color deposits on dark brown.

I used it on cabinets that had been painted black and white. Thought id give it a try before doing extra steps! Didn't strip them or anything and this product worked wonderfully going right over the paint. Did four coats on the white and two on the black. Hope this helps!

The only way to do this is by COMPLETELY sanding the old cabinets. This product is not like paint, it is a stain and works best on light to medium colored wood. The color (end result) varies depending on the original color of wood.

I don't know, I just applied it over my oak bathroom cabinets after I lightly sanded them. They turned out really good. I think it would be worth a try. But it takes 3 coats and it has to dry at least a day in between coats, after the first coat you really can't tell. I applied it with a white sock, it was very easy.

It depends if your cabinets are a light oak. This piece is a darker/distressed oak. I do love this island!!

VERY similar. There are color variations in the stain as the picture indicates that vary enough the cabinet could blend with many finishes. Those areas that appear lighter think would be called a "golden oak" and the areas that appear darker have warm browns to almost a cherry or mahogany appearance especially in the detail work. My cabinet is beautiful and has already gotten many compliments. The way this has been stained gives it a very european olde world look. Hope that helps

Yes, I used rub n buff on my kitchen cabinet hardware and it has held up really well for 5 years. You need to seal it with an Amaco water based sealer that's made specifically for rub n buff is what I used but any water based sealer would work. If you want more infomation you can email Amaco and they will reply, that's how I learned I could use it on my kitchen cabinet hardware (pulls and hinges) and the sealer to use.

When in doubt, always go light. You may be sorry if you do anything any darker. The dark stains any grain too dark for light wood. (For me anyway.) I would suggest trying Howard's Restore-a-finish in Golden Oak. Won't change the color at all and gives a beautiful finish, but is a little more than just a spruce-up shine. This is wonderful stuff. Maybe your lumber company will have a sample. I bought mine through Amazon as I was already familiar with product. Good Luck.

I don't think so. The brown is not very fluid so I would look for something else.
