Is it already painted or stained?

They must have me confused with someone else. I don't have one of these chests.

Yes. It is stained. They come with some kind of sealer on it as well. When you first remove it from the box, the sealer has a strong smell. It only lasts a couple of days. It's nothing to worry about.

It is not painted. It is a matte black plastic. I believe they mean you can paint to match.

I bought the darker colour and yes it appears to be finished, but it is definately not the best finish. It's broken up into pieces, nothing solid. I think it's meant more to be in a corner.

It comes unfinished but you could stain or paint it. We are allowing ours to weather naturally.

It is unfinished. The mattress hangs over the frame and you can't really see the frame. I've had it for two years and never painted or stained it as I originally intended. But you could if you wanted to seal it.

No, the top is painted and stains very easily. I would keep it covered while in use as it is difficult to clean.

It is unfinished. It's more of a rustic piece. However, I don't see why you couldn't stain it if you wanted too.

There seems to be some sort of coating, but I think it could be sanded down and stained.

It is unfinished and fairly well sanded. You would be able to paint it right out of the box before assembling.

This wood is unfinished. I finished it with teak oil as I didn't want to stain it. It's outside on our patio and looks great after four or five months.

I don't know. I returned this item as there were unremovable stains on it. I doubt if it's brand new condition.

It has a slick finish, I don't think spray paint will last. You would be better off finding an unfinished piece.

I didn't stain mine, but the paint came out nicely! If you were to paint then clear coat it with a thin layer of polyurethane, it should be protected for a good amount of time!

no, no staining. just keep it clean on outside with stainless steel cleaner. it's kind of a brushed stainless.

I agree with MMK. I think the stain is too orange. It doesn't match my other furniture. However, the chair/stool is a really nice piece and I'm keeping it. I'll just paint it or stand it down and restain it.

Yes, it is stained and sealed. It really is as beautiful as it looks in the picture.

It appears to have just an oiled finish. I believe it could be stained. They don't recommend the top be stained or varnished, just use mineral oil on the top.
