Is this a light cherry or dark cherry? Also how much lighter is it compared to the java stain?

It is dark but I have never used the java color to me it doesn't look as dark as the java did. I really liked this product. I just used one coat and I was done no top cost needed

Not sure how it compares to java, but it is pretty dark. Think black cherry.

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.

Depending on how you apply it, medium to dark cherry. Somewhat lighter than the java but mostly a different color. Java is a brown base and this is red. Always test on a scrap of the same wood as your project and best if it is a cut off. Beautiful stain if applied right.

It is more of a dark brown. When we ordered ours it was labeled as an espresso color and I have to say it was an good description. it is about the color of "black" coffee with a few highlights in the grain. I definitely wouldn't call it a cherry finish.

It is close to cherry. It has a little bit of a red tint. Very classy looking. I love mine.

I would say it's a mix between the two. Not too cherry in color. I can send you pics of mine if you send me you email address.

yes, fairly close. I have seen cherrys with a bit more red but i'd put it in that family. Probably had mine one a year not. Holding up nicely. Still like that purchase.

Hi. Its a medium dark finish. Its not oak or cherry but its not a super dark wood either. Hope that helps.

There are several color choices. The Java is a good one to darken lighter items already stained. I used this on staircase railing to change the color from a golden oak to more of a walnut.

I think there is enough cherry in the finish to be able to call it a dark chocolate cherry. They are very nice and I am very pleased with them.

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.

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

Sorry.... I just checked my order and I did get the Dark Cherry, it looks exactly like the picture of the Dark Cherry on the website, lighter then the Cherry color.... Hope that helps.

It has a cherry wood finish - on a dark side. The wood is not cherry - just the finish is cherry-like.

It's just slightly darker than what you might normally think of as cherry. But I think it easily would pass as a dark cherry color. I ordered it thinking it was an espresso color but only because they didn't have it in "cherry" so it's worked out perfect for me.

It is cherry. I will likey darken over time. You would need to have it professionaly refinished as it was factory finished to ship.

The color is similar to the picture. It isn't a dark piece compared to how cherry gets with age. I would say it is a medium. (In between light and dark) wih warm tones. It could complement cherry, I think.

I'm not sure but it is dense an heavy and the cherry finish is a coating to my surprise. I saw a white spot one week after I owned it. I scraped it w/my fingernail and the coating came off showing a bigger white spot. I was very disappointed. I used a marker to color it. The price was too good, you get what you pay for. Otherwise I like the shape and function.

As an owner of dark cherry items I would say it is not that dark as cherry....so I would say expresso
