Bought the bench to check out the finish. The table finish appears to be far more variegated in the photos than on the bench we received. True?

Picture can not show the detail finish. It is natural wood grid, the table color will match the bench.

I'd say probably not. Mine came with a dark cherrywood finish but I know there were different finishes available.

VERY similar. There are color variations in the stain as the picture indicates that vary enough the cabinet could blend with many finishes. Those areas that appear lighter think would be called a "golden oak" and the areas that appear darker have warm browns to almost a cherry or mahogany appearance especially in the detail work. My cabinet is beautiful and has already gotten many compliments. The way this has been stained gives it a very european olde world look. Hope that helps

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.

I've noticed that as well! I Was very happy to find that the swing I recieved looks like the larger swing pictured. It is however, unfinished so not quite the red stain look. It's an amazing swing for the price! Very sturdy! I bought it for my parents and look forward to seeing them enjoy it with the grandkids this summer.

Yes, I'd call it faux cherry finish. It appears to be a laminate (paper?) over whatever wood. I like this table for its versatility.

Upon arrival, it looks rather shiny or glossy in appearance, but when a little normal dust gets on it, it dulls down quickly. My thought is that it will be less shiny as it ages like a lot of quality vinyl and naugahyde has been in the past, maybe a sheen years from now. I will say that it appears to be a thicker, quality upholstery, not just a cheap thin vinyl. The tacks appear to be actual upholstery finishing tacks, but I don't really know because none of them are loose to be viewed. This was a popular upholstery method traditionally so I never questioned that myself. When one would stop and think about this for a moment, it would be far harder to mimic those tacks by somehow gluing on studs then it would be to just pound them in and secure the fabric like they are supposed to do, so I really don't think they are fake tacks, but just the standard upholstery finishing tacks, and that is just my opinion.

Hi Julie,I do not remember them saying exactly what type of finish it is on the table. I went with the lighter wood and it is a very light finish. Certanly not a high gloss finish at all. Our grandson loves his table and chairs.barb

The bench has a matte finish. There is a sheen but not glossy like patent leather.

This is a beautiful well made bench. The wood of the bench is soft and so is the finish. It encourages an antique like patina rather than being cheap looking. To answer your question, enjoy the bench indoors, ONLY.

I bought the darker colour and yes it appears to be finished, but it is definately not the best finish. It's broken up into pieces, nothing solid. I think it's meant more to be in a corner.

Yes, the finish in the picture is pretty close. The picture might be a little over exposed, so the actual color is a tiny bit darker than pictured (but it's close).

I hope I can answer this...for one its a beautiful table that sits up to eight people...the metal is not chrome if your looking for a shiny metal! It sort of looks like a metallic paint finish! But thats what I was going for so I'm happy with my choice. Its extremely close to what you in see inthe picture except its a bit more shinier in person. I hope this helps

There's something on it that gives it a nice finish. Whether it's varnish or not, I am not sure.

If I remember correctly (I upgraded my home to sell), it was more polished. Probably a better description would be smooth finish. Certainly it was not high gloss. High gloss would make it stand out. Not what you want. I compared the finish to the ones at Home Depot. Virtually the same.

Yes, I was under the impression it was a bronze finish, but it was not. It looked more like a grey plastic finish. Sorry. Thank you. Jinny
