Yes, it could definitely be spray painted. I think the color is nicer in person than in the photo.

I have no idea but...you can buy TWO of these now in MATALAN .one smaller one inside the other. Wish I had waited as I paid about 90quid to get this from abroad and I swear is the self same chest ..2 for 1 at about 50 or 60 pounds is bargain and you will be able to touch it and decide for yourself if can be painted etc. If you dont live near matalan store you can prob order from their website. Go see!

I use mine as a coffee table and I think it can be stained or painted. I feel this is a real cool piece of furniture with storage.

Yes it could. But keep in mind the top is not as sturdy as a wood coffee table but yes it could nicely be used as a coffee table. What a great idea

Ours is stained, not painted. There is no finish over it so it is not glossy at all.

It's painted or antiqued, but not finished with a clearcoat of any kind. You would very probably be able to stain it easily, I doubt you'd even have to sand it first.

I don't think you can stain it - it's not wood. With the proper prep work you might be able to paint it. (it has a laminate type coating)

The wood grain is a vinyl coating to trying to apply a stain would be an exercise in futility, you'd be better off just painting it with a flat black satin paint. Maybe do a little sanding to it first

I don't know - I left it the natural color because that is what I wanted anyway. I don't know enough about paints and stains to know if it is stainable. Sorry not to be more help! I really like the table though...

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.

as far as I can tell its pressboard with a laminate covering so you may be able to paint it but I doubt it will accept a stain or varnish

Yes it is unfinished . It can be painted or stained. I stained mine and it looks great!

I'm not too sure....I guess you could spray paint it, but I think the quality would lack after that! I have espresso furniture and bought it knowing it was a cherry/walnut and it blends pretty well without having to stain or change the color and it really is a nice finish. it was super easy to install, durable and had plenty of room for keyboard and mouse. I was alittle apprehensive (just cause of the color) but am really happy with it

Yes the wood can be stained. The wood is pine so it isn't the best wood to stain. The rack is very high quality.

It is finished with a light oil based stain. My guess is that you could paint it if you used some thing like Rustolium spray paint.

Karen. I hate to say this but I hate to return this piece of furniture because it was so poorly built. I would say that if you could get it put together you would not be happy with staining it. It's a nice rustic green and I think if you tried to stain it it would end up almost black. You would be better off painting it I would think. Good luck!

Sorry I cannot give a definitive answer since I haven't tried to paint it. It is lighter than the picture shows, however, it is an attractive piece. As we know, for perfection and having it exactly was we want, you have to pay. Price is right for this one. I also don't know much about paints. I believe it is doable but would have to gently take the top finish off. It may take a little effort but again cannot make any guarantees. Hope that was somewhat helpful.

The color is very close. It would thinking painting would work if you sand the finish sufficiently before assembly.... Sounds like a lot of work though.

Hi K, unfortunately it's not real wood. It's a pressed wood with a veneer finish, so you couldn't stain it. It was actually good you asked just now, my contractor who is building cabinetry in my family room is here and I took it in to ask him. He said if you like it that much you could find the assembly plans and have it custom made because its such a simple design. I don't know what kind of price he was talking though, or if you're that interested in it. Please let me know if I can answer anymore questions for you.

I really don't know if you could spray paint it. The material is very shiny, like tin foil. Spray paint may just run off. I think experimenting with regular tin foil would give you an answer.
