Is it possible to stain/varnish this piece? Is there any protective coating on it?

There was no protective coating on our piece. We put several coats of cedar stain/weather-coa on our table for outside use. So far, it has held up well.

No...it is cheap and easily split pine. Maybe with the right stain you can make it look like cedar, but if it is cedar, I never saw any like it before in my life, and I live in the cedar woods.

Their is nothing on it, but I put a cedar stain sealer on it. I put 3 or 4 coats on and it came out beautiful.

There is no protective coating on this table. We stained the table with the same cedar stain & sealer we applied to our deck. I would post a picture but there is 2+ feet of snow in the yard and I can't get to it. We leave the table & chairs out in the elements year round. They have held up fantastically and still look great!

The table feels like it could be coated and it's easy to clean, but I'm not 100% sure that it has protective coating; I think you'd have to contact the company. I haven't wanted to take the chance so we use coasters :) However, we've had the table now for over a year, and not *every* glass has been on a coaster, and we don't have any visible watermarks.

This item has a protective oil and polish finish. It is not considered "varnish" due to the harsh chemicals that will not pass the USA standards. Let us know if you have any further questions.

There is no composite used in this rack. It is all solid, matte finished wood. I do not know if it could be stained.

I have not tried painting mine but based on the material you probably could. I would definitely give it a good sanding first to help remove the gloss (coating?) and use paint or primer that has some tackiness to it. Hope that helps.

I think you could paint it, with a primer. It's a little like veneer, so paint might not go on well by itself. It's a sturdy unit, but dings and chips easily. A good strong paint would improve it a lot.

There is no varnish or finish on this piece except flat paint. Just a good wiping-down would probably suffice. Then ask a paint store the best kind of paint to use on the table in whatever color & finish (flat or gloss) you want.

Hi Karen,This piece doesn't have any sort of sealant on it. The wood is fairly light and you should be able to stain it but don't take my word on that. I don't do much on that front.

It has a sealant on it and in my opion it would have to be sanded if someone wanted to stain in. The sealantgives it a glaze and a very nice natural finish.

They come with a finish on them. Not sure if is varnish or laquer or what but you'd have to sand it off to stain it.

It appears to be unfinished, however, has a protective coat of some kind on it. I did go ahead and stain and varathane it and I love it! The top drawer face does not quite mesh very tightly with the upright sides, but, again, it is beautiful; fits perfectly in my limited space kitchen and provides the storage I needed. A definate "win" for me............solid wood, also......no fiberboard !!

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

I don't think it could be painted unless you sanded off the finish. The stain is very durable. We have really enjoyed this table this summer and would recommend it.

Looks like pine, untreated. Could easily be stained or varnished to your preferance.

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.

Hello, I'm sure once sanded down you can paint the item, but it'll void the return policy and damage the reflective chrome finish. Thank you, EdgarManhattan Lane Support Team
