Are these doors "finished" or do they need stained?

They need staining. Be sure to use a sealant and finish with a fine steel wool. Good doors.

The cabinet is solid wood has a natural light wood finish on it. Looks like it has a clear coat sealer on it. You might want to call the company customer service and ask them to be sure. They may even ship you one that has already been sanded with no finish on it. If you don't mind a little work, you could always lightly sand each piece and and apply your stain before assembly.

probably not stained. But actually, It's not my set which was dark color, is on sale for $89 on amazon. I'm very pleased with it.

mine appear to have been turned from a solid piece of some light wood, and then stained dark brown. They are not made of what we old timers call 'beaverboard'

Yes it is definitely unfinished. I stained mine. It's a great little bench seat.

Yes. They are stained and then sprayed with lacquer but only need a little hand sanding to scruff up the surface a little to be painted. Use a medium to fine sandpaper (120 to 220 grit) and then spray light coats of water based paint.

No, I have never had a problem with them staining. We have used almost the whole container.

I stained mine and they turned out very nice. You could leave them unstained but I would recommend a few coats of varathane or maybe tung oil to seal them. I used a foam brush to apply the stain and lint free rag to wipe off the excess. I just wrapped the rag around a putty knife to wipe off the excess stain between the louvers and in crevices. It was actually much easier than I expected.

No it didn't stain. I mean it'll get some residue on them but they're washable. :]

Yes it is unfinished . It can be painted or stained. I stained mine and it looks great!

They are very smooth, no need to worry about splinters they would work well for your project. The unfinished in this case refers to the fact that they do not have a finish coat of paint or stain but they are ready to finish.

I did not sand mine down and they were fine. I did use TSP, rinsed well and then used windex to get any leftover residue. So far paint has adhered very well. The brush that comes with the kit is amazing but I used an artist brush to go around the hinges so I didn't have to take off doors.

I did not try to stain them, but if you wanted to take the time to sand them down completely (I'd imagine it'd take a ling time since there are so many pieces) then it might work. They are solid wood.

It's a stained finish. I've had it out side for almost a year and it looks as good as when I purchased it.

It is stained and sealed. These are custom made by the seller so I think you can ask them directly. The one we bought for our son's belts is in walnut color and has a walnut finish with a satin seal. I'm sure they could do different colors and/or finishes. Just ask.

They are unfunished. Ready to paint, stain, or varnish. Thank you for your query.
