I was looking for the stain colour in the photo, but it says it is stained brown already. Is this so?

No its a dark muddy brown. Someone posted a picture and you can see its not black or natural black.

I think one reviewer pointed out - the outer brown is darker than it seems in the picture, and the inner color lighter. It appears more like an off white to me. Can email a picture if you want.

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!

Yes it is brown, the photos make it look like it has a reddish hue, on my computer anyway.

The unit is more brown. With that being said, if you need a new piece from Storkcraft when putting the unit together, they ask you numerous questions about where the unit was made, the lot number and when it was manufactured. This tells me that even their own furniture does not match other pieces from month to month or year to year. They do not consistently match their stains.

It is stained but I would add waterproofing. I received it in late October but have not built it yet.

I stained it but I used a cinnamon color to match my son's existing furniture. I got (minwax I believe) a rub on stain and it was EASY to do & not very messy. They have tons of colors & I picked up at my local Menards. Rubbed it on with a rag and that was it!

Yes, definitely in the brown category. I have it beside a chocolate brown couch and it looks great.

No, it looks more brown in the pics online. It has more cherry red in it in person but not overly cherry red as it goes well with my dark wood furniture in my living and dining room. This piece looks more expensive than what I paid for it. I am pleased with this purchase.

It's very slightly red stained, almost natural. The real look is like that of the last photo, with the pieces dismantled. It really doesn't seem it's going to endure the weather for long, si I opted to paint it with a transparent marine wood sealer, and then it looks as the one in the first photo with flowers.

The picture makes it look slightly browner than it is. It is chocolate brown...that kind of color depth...but (mine at least) has a sort of dark auburn undertone to the brown. It's not quite dark enough to be close to brown-black. That said, unless everything else matches fairly precisely, it's a great piece of furniture and you might be able to counteract the difference in color with accessories/bedding.

This is only a finish, not a stain. Pick up a stain pencil to match at the box store for this problem

Yes, it was a lighter brown than was shown in the picture but still very nice. I wasnt concerned about the over all "color" just that it looked well made.

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 could def be stained, but keep in mind it has a greenish-gray under-hue. Maybe a dark stain?
