do you have to stain or put anything not the wood

I haven't but the wood looks pretty solid to me. It's an option but I doubt you'd need to.

No. It is pre-treated and you don't have to....however of you wanted to change to "look" then it appears you could stain it.

No! Absolutely not! You should never place anything wet on a wooden surface, finished or unfinished. Use a coaster.

These are finished, not raw wood. You would have to strip them first to stain them.

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.

Helps but you may also need a staining stick from the hardware store, they come in all wood colors.

I have the cherry oak stain. It is good quality and not chip board or anything cheap. I love mine

No, the top is not stain proof. It is finished wood. Water, heat , marker, could all stain it.

I comes unstained. You can put anything you want on it. I used a combination of tung oil and citrus solvent to give it a finish that brings out the beauty of the cedar.

No. Just the wood grain that is normal and slight stain coloring from light to dark, normal for this type of wood. They are very nice.

I suppose you could stain it if you wanted to, but it is perfectly fine to leave in its natural state. Its really nice looking!

The dyes will color the wood without covering the wood grain like the others have mentioned. The Dyes are transparent, and enhance the features in the wood while drawing out the wood's natural characteristics by penatrating and coloring the wood fibers from the inside out. That means the dye stain does not just lie on the surface of the wood, but literally interacts with the wood directly instead of coating the wood surface.Hope that helps out.....

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.

You'll still want to apply a standard finish. This just colors the wood, it doesn't protect it in any way

Stain penetrates. The product produces a grainy texture and will not penetrate the wood. I would not use it with stain.

Perhaps it would be best if you used a wood conditioner first so the stain will be accepted by your wood more evenly. There are lots of them available and I have found it to be helpful. The Briwax would be your last step. Conditioner, stai!n, Briwax -- rmember to take all the steps for a proper finish. Good luck !

I have painted over this product with good success. I have not attempted any stain. Since the product keeps moisture from penetrating, I would be reluctant to stain. Stain works by penetrating wood.

It's made of particle board with a thin, wood-like laminate on top So, it won't stain. Sorry
