Do you think this is unfinished so that I could stain or chalk paint it myself to the color desired?

Yes, I would definitely seal the wood even with a clear poly acrylic to protect the wood though.

It is unfinished wood. I was going to stain the seat and paint the legs. I didn't feel the wood quality was nice enough to stain so I painted the whole thing. I lightly sanded it before painting.

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

Completely unfinished. I didn't paint it. I stained it. It took the stain like a dream. Required very little sanding. For the price this is a very nice piece of furniture. Heavy wood. I imagine if you want to paint it there would be no problem.

You cannot stain this piece as it is not a real wood surface, but vinyl. With a good primer you may have some luck painting it.

it seemed to have a light coating of stain so I applied another layer of outdoor stain. I imagine if u roughed/sanded it up a bit, it would take a coat of paint.

You could paint. Or better to sand lightly, remove dust w tack cloth & stain&varnish.;

I would think you could just go ahead and stain it darker, it does not need to be painted when you get it. We've had ours going on two years and it has held up very good to the weather, of course we live in southern CA, but the color is still very good. I hope this helps.

I've seen it done before. As for doing it myself, I have not. However I am very happy with this product and the black color that I have under this. You have the ability to add as much or as little gloss as you want to get the look you are going for. I would say do it! :-)

No, it isn't; it's brown....but I don't see why you couldn't finish it yourself (paint, fabric, poster etc.).. hope that helps.

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 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 !!

This wood is unfinished. I finished it with teak oil as I didn't want to stain it. It's outside on our patio and looks great after four or five months.

It is not finished on back. .but if you wanted to use as a room divider I can't see why you couldn't paint ..The bigger concern would be how you would be able to secure the unit to floor. .it could hurt someone if it tipped over.even on level non carpeted floor it is tall and solid not something I would trust to be free standing

It came stained but unfinished. I coated it with an outdoor poly and leave it outside all summer long.

This is only a finish, not a stain. Pick up a stain pencil to match at the box store for this problem

It already has a blond finish and is quite nice. In order to stain you would probably have to sand it and you would have to take it apart to do that. I am not sure a stain would take over the current finish. For us, it is just fine the way it is. SP

I looked up DIY chalk paint on Pinterest and found out how to mix my own chalk finish paint (not chalk board paint). The one I use has indoor paint, water, and plaster of Paris. No need to strip or sand the piece. I used an off white paint, and want over it with the minwax dark paste to darken it and age it. It looks especially nice in the grooves and corners. I love finishing furniture this way because you can do even a big piece in one day!

It is unfinished wood, ready for you to stain or paint. I don't think they have been treated with anything.
