I'm using the stool as it came and it looks great. It looks like oak and may stain well, but I couldn't say for sure.

It looks like oak and could have been stained. I chose a varnish without stain. Ot seems sturdy.

I am using the stool as it was deliveried and have no additional information

I don't know exactly what kind of wood it is but it is receptive to stain and I used Minwax oak stain on them and they look like oak. I absolutely love these stools- they are sturdy, well made and look just great in my home.

If I recall correctly - it's white oak (or equivalent), and we did stain them and it took the stain well.

It is made from particle board with veneer surface. The one I have has an oak stain on it. the top may be wood, I'm not sure. We like it. it is roomy and looks good where I have it in my dining room

I don't really know, but it is very sturdy and fits right into my décor. It looks like oak, and if not, it sure looks like it. Don't be afraid to get it, you will be pleased. My husband just said it was particle board!! He is a woodworker by trade and he was impressed with it. Hope this helps.

I see what you mean, but no, it is a very nice walnutty'oak, no real yellow tinge. We are glad we got it, generally particularly well-made (although I had to call the company cuz the cabinet doors didn't close properly and they were quite helpful) Do follow the directions and ignore the extra row of holes in the top piece.

It appears to be a hardwood of some species, but it is stained, so I don't recognize which one.

It stains beautifullyy. It is made of rubberwood. I used general finishes gel stain and a satin poly acrylic over it.

The wood is a medium brown shade, but the stain is a bit more orange tinted than it appears in the photo.

The cabinet is made of oak wood but the stain is walnut. If you search you should be able to find an oak with a natural or oak stain finish. I have also seen cherry finish for this product.

It's more of an orange/light stain, not mahogany but still nice finish to it.

It looks like an oak grain. It's only slightly lighter than what's pictured, but not by much. The stain used seems to be natural or only very lightly colored. As a previous user said, "honey oak" seems to be a fitting description.

I don't think it's natural wood, but pressed wood, and the bottom is not stained, but the top has a shiny coating of some sort on it. I love it just the way it is, but if you wish to stain it a different color, then you can just sand the top - that should work.

Not sure as to the wood though I believe it is mahogany. The stain is a dark cherry or mahogany with red felt. The photo included is pretty accurate as to appearance actually.

It is a very dark oak, lighter than walnut. Ours is setting in the mud room coming in from the garage, so not very many see it.

It looks like a pine wood stained to a light rosewood or cherry finish. Why do you ask?

It is like a veneer wood. Looks like oak, matches my cabinets. I love it. I got it to go with my country themed kitchen. And mine seems to work just fine. If anything the ringer is too loud, the guy below must of had it on low ring. If you are going to use speaker phone, before you answer you have to hit speaker phone at that moment and don't pick up the phone. Ours is mainly for looks.

I don't remember if the ad stated the type of wood. It's not very thick and it's not pressure-treated. I used a transparent deck stain on mine. It has been outside a year, and it still looks great.

It is heavy like real wood but I know it is not oak. Not sure of what kind of wood it is.
