The wood is natural color. I don't know what kind of wood it is because was not in the specification. Might be spruce, just guessing, but it looks good.

The wood is a natural color almost exactly like it looks in the picture. I bought this in December and am very happy with it.

I'll answer the second question first. If you sort the reviews by "Newest First", you will see there are many reviews that are quite recent. I purchased my room divider in 2013. It appears that the wood used in this divider is a natural finish on a light colored wood with very little grain. I am not an expert on varieties of wood used in furniture, so cannot identify the actual wood. I can tell you it isn't oak.

The wood looks stained, but with a clear coat. The wood's original light color does not seem to have been altered or darkened.

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.

Hi Natalie! This bench is made from Bamboo! I'm sure it's treated, but could easily be stained to a color of your liking! We love ours! Super sturdy, looks amazing and is actually comfortable to sit on! My fav part is the the fact that it has 2 places for tall boots!! If you purchase this, you won't be sorry! :) hope this helps!

Mine was natural so I stained it. We have it outside and it is holding up well......

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 stained wood. It could be Redwood but am not sure. Mine is just over one year old but seems to be holding its color. Kind of flemsy achores thought! I hope this helps.

It's seems to be solid. However, That is not an educated observation as I've never worked with wood. It is stained but not painted. We love ours! I hope this helps :)

It is painted a light yellow with fuzzy orange stripes. I would prefer natural wood but the paint job is very nicely done.

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!

It is stained wood. I would not recommend it for rough weather conditions. The wood is soft and light.

I agree with MMK. I think the stain is too orange. It doesn't match my other furniture. However, the chair/stool is a really nice piece and I'm keeping it. I'll just paint it or stand it down and restain it.

Its painted. I'm not familiar with the term primary wood and pine is not dark(I sold lumber for 30 years) . I would guess its an asian lumber in the luan family.

any wood could be stained, but it is very plain wood , like maple or pine that is not meant to be stained.it looks nice anyways.

The wood is sanded but in its natural finish (no paint, stain or varnish, etc.) You can finish it yourself with paint, stain, or polyurethane to match your decor.

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!

Not sure if the lumber is treated but I am sure it could be stained. We use to move big pots around the yard.

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.
