Does the BEECH color match natural maple? Should I put the beech next to my natural maple door to match or get the cherry and have it contrast.

My preference would be for the lighter beech. I have natural maple and very light oak and they are all in a close family. Good luck

The color of the island is similar to natural oak, but definitely darker. Our cabinets are natural oak and the island certainly doesn't match them, but doesn't look bad to us.

we have golden oak cabinets. It's not a true match, it's darker than the golden oak, so definetely darker than natural oak finish. It is a nice looking piece of furniture, but not oakey, more a cinamon color. (they call it a distressed oak, but it's not oak wood). it can work as a compliment to your natural oak, but not a match.

It depends on your method of application and how many coats you choose to apply. I preferred a darker cherry look and applied 3 coats. This left me with a deep rich (and dark) wood stain, that is similar to the Java look, however, you can see the cherry red shine through when light hits it.

The picture does look like cherry but when we ordered the walnut it came and is was a walnut stain. Not sure why the picture is that way.

Not that different, just a little more brown shade than dark cherry. I have cherry furniture in my living room with this piece and it looks just fine, doesn't stand out as that different of a shade.

The sink is a lighter color than turqiose or teal. We used Sherwin Williams Exclusive Plum in a small bathroom w/o windows. The paint color is dark but looks great.

Sure! The one that we purchased is exactly 6 feet in length, and a gorgeous, deep brown that I would describe as more walnut than cherry, but may coordinate with cherry if that's what you wanted. We paired it with a lighter walnut table, but I do not think it would clash with cherry. The deep stain is very rich looking, and there are accent places where it is almost black-- such as the crevices in between the slats. We would say it is both rustic and rich looking. Hope that helps!

There is a reddish hue to the finish. I have it paired with Duncan Phyff which works. I think it would blend well with cherry.

Hi, I am an owner of a furniture restoration company and I have worked with a lot of different types of woods and finishes. As far as pine is concerned, truthfully you never wil truly know what you are going to get when you finish it. I have always found that I would get different shades if yellowing when a finish is applied to natural pine. Some are this amber or yellowing finishes are desirable. As far as the birchwood Casey product. The is a very good finish that is above average for its application and above average for desired finish . But, yes if it is applied to pine it will yellow out. But, this is the woods reaction to finish. I have not witnessed a yellowing because of age with birchwood Casey products. Further, If it is your desire to use an economical type of wood, that has a similar but tighter grain, I would recommend you check out hemlock

I compared the color of my console to the Minwax stain color chart (I'm not well versed in wood colors) and it most resembles the Colonial Maple. It's a nice piece of furniture by the way. Very attractive and sturdy.

Wait. I'm not sure what finish ours is. I would not call it autumn maple so maybe ours is a different finish.

Hello Deana,The Red Cherry #43's are supposed to look natural. I really love mine. They are supposed to be copies of Demi Wispies. Hope that helped you. :D

The Cherry is a very rich dark wood. If you want a dark wood order the Cherry.

The cabinet is definitely more a walnut color than cherry. The stain on mine is not as dark as what the image shows.

Yes, I think it will look okay. I didn't spend any time trying to get the wood graphic to match as I put the pieces together, and I always get compliments on how well it matches my real oak floors around it.
