Can this be stained? We would want it to match our cherry wood cabinets.

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.

I don't know because all the cabinets I did were stained..If you get an answer i'd like to know because I'd like to do my white bathroom cabinets.

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.

Sorry not to reply sooner. You probably can't stain it, but you could paint over it. Or you could use a spray lacquer, like Mohawk spray lacquer. You could also look into countertop paint. Rustoleum makes a counter top paint. We used the cheaper variety which is about $20 which, honestly didn't give us a very good finish. But we are planning to redo the entire kitchen in a couple of years and it is good enough right now. Hope this helps and we are not too late.

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.

Yes it will match anything cherry you have. It's maybe slightly more brown than red but goes great with the cherry we have. This cabinet is AMAZING!!!

It is made of composite and I do not think it could be stained. Hope this helps.

It is unfinished. It's more of a rustic piece. However, I don't see why you couldn't stain it if you wanted too.

No, I don't think the lumber is treated, but I believe it can be stained. That's a good idea!

Yes! That's the beauty of it. Mine were white-wash stained cabinets initially. I used "000" steel wool pads to scuff the surface in the direction of the grain to remove any gloss and to clean them up (don't kill yourself sanding...the steel wool works great and gets into the crevices). The gel stain is like a paint...it stays on top of the surface...does not really sink into the wood anyway, so as long as you scuff it up slightly it will work fine. Go for it!

I took oak cabinets and stained them with this. Took 3 coats and have almost black cabinets. They're beautiful. Loved this stain.

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.

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!

I don't think you can stain it - it's not wood. With the proper prep work you might be able to paint it. (it has a laminate type coating)

It's stainable, but I wouldn't recommend it. You'll have a difficult time not touching the inserts and making them dirty.

It appears to already have a natural finish. The stain might not soak in unless you do a pre-process.

The wood has a stain applied also some sort of finish. It's well crafted and heavy. Make sure cabinet is mounted on a stud for support
