Is the "natural" option unfinished wood, or is it sealed? Trying to figure out if I can easily stain it without needing to sand off a finish.

It's been sealed with a clear satin finish, so it has to be stripped and sanded before staining.

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

It is stained, and I believe it is sealed. I won't swear to that though because I gave it as a gift so do not have it here for me to examine. It is very nice though. By far the nicest option I have seen.

The wood is finished, so not sure it would take a stain without sanding or taking off the finish.

Completely unfinished. I didn't paint it. I stained it. It took the stain like a dream. Required very little sanding. For the price this is a very nice piece of furniture. Heavy wood. I imagine if you want to paint it there would be no problem.

It's a raw wood color that can be painted or stained. However it does not have a wood grain. If staining maybe use Minwax Gel since that can be used on almost any surface. This is a hard rubber type material so it can be molded to fit any shape. You can stain before or after installation but before is probably best with touchup after. It can be nailed or installed with adhesive. Hope that helps.

This is no stain. It might look a little darker, but no stain. It is more like a wax "Bees wax" sealer that conditions the wood. I use it on my end grain wood cutting board. It looks great. It says it's a food grade product. I use it warmed up a bit. Personally I like the oil product they sell also.I use them both.

no it is not. Natural wood finish. It is made of plastic. I have had this for at least a year, and it still looks like new. I love it.

It is not finished at all. You could finish it with stain and/or poly if you like. One side is very smooth (i.e. the top) and the other side (the bottom) is more rough with some knots. I left mine unfinished and condition it periodically with a wax/oil conditioning blend to keep it food-safe.

The wood is sanded but in its natural finish (no paint, stain or varnish, etc.) You can finish it yourself with paint, stain, or polyurethane to match your decor.

Mine arrived with a very smooth finish. I sprayed painted it black without sanding and it looks great - very smooth and even finish. I can't speak to how evenly it would take a stain but the piece definitely arrived already sanded.

There is no finish. I finished mine with a clear waterproofer to keep it from turning grey. It brought out the natural cedar grain/color in the wood.

It is very smooth and unfinished. Ready to be stained. I do believe it is untreated. Hope that is helpful.

It's made out of pressure treated pine. There is not stain or varnish/finished applied.

It's very slightly red stained, almost natural. The real look is like that of the last photo, with the pieces dismantled. It really doesn't seem it's going to endure the weather for long, si I opted to paint it with a transparent marine wood sealer, and then it looks as the one in the first photo with flowers.

it is a natural wood but it does not need to be stained or painted. I suppose it could be but it's not rough or splintery.

We can make this out of new cherry wood and finish it with a natural stain. Or make it out if pine and finish it with a cherry stain. Jim
