Does the finish rub off on your hands? I want to use it as a headboard but want to make sure the stain doesn't come off on my sheets/pillows.

Hi: I use mine as a room divider, but so far I haven't had any finish rub off on my hands when I move or adjust the piece.

Hi Janet, I honestly don't know! It doesn't come into contact with anything where I currently have it. Love the idea of using it as a headboard though. This is the best purchase I've made in the last year!

I use mine as a room divider in the office...I personally haven't noticed that the wood's stain comes off on your hands (when I go to touch it to move it). I think that it's well made and it's very beautiful.

No, the finish does not rub off. My mother has it hanging on her living room wall, which is white, and there hasn't been any problems.

Doesn't appear that it would, but I don't have it near any fabric. It is a beautiful piece well worth the money.

To avoid it rubbing out I recommend using the product overnight. This allows it to set better and what little residue there is will wash off when showering. I've work out afterwards and never had it stain clothing or rub off. Just be careful applyinbg too much to joints.e.g., elbows or it will build up and look too dark.

It will rub off on both. But it comes out in the wash. My wife has had no problems with staining.

mine is generally up against the headboard or the couch, which is microfiber, and the color has never bled out. Doesn't seem the type of material that this would ever be a concern.

I haven't had any problems with staining. It will leave greasy mark on clothing, but that washes right out without any special treatments needed.

I used it on a cream colored suede headboard. It blends right in with no streaking or residue marks

I have spot cleaned it and the stain came right out. For the price, I would try to wash it in a front load washer on the gentle cycle.

I have the light beige one and it does stain easily, but I've found that with some soft scrub most of the staining cleans off if you get to it soon enough before it sets in.

It doesn't stain, but if you dress or go to bed before completely dry, some may rub off. It washes right out.

I have a dresser at the bottom of my bed, so I don't experience this issue. Maybe always pull the comforter up over the end of the bed so it can't fall.... idk what would cause that.

I had shiny wood gloss stain (I can not remember exact) and it went on without sanding at all! I also had paint on one of my cabinets and it went on that as well! It is still on and still looking great after at least 2 months!

The wood is natural, a light oak color, so it could be stained if you want. I had to sand the drawer to get it to fit properly, but it wasn't a big deal. I'm very happy with it, and I think you will be, too.

No, their aren't - but since my Ikea comforter is covered in cotton and the duvet itself is cotton, the friction helps hold it nicely in place without it sliding or bunching. I really like this set - both the duvet and the shams launder beautifully with no need to iron as long as they are removed from the dryer promptly. I will say that the buttons don't seem to be sewn on all that securely so I imagine one day I'll have to pull out the needle and thread, but other than that I am pleased and I would definitely buy it again. The colors are muted enough that even in paisley it is not too busy - quite soothing in fact.

I didn't have any problem with it coming off on furniture. It rubs off a little on the inside of my capris around the calf where the pants rub but it washes out very easily. I didn't wear it with white because a friend said it shows a little on white fabric.

We did not sand or stain our unfinished bed that we purchased. We were completely satisfied with it just as it was. Hope this helps!

If you sand the wood to take the polyurethane off and then stain with the java gell it will be fine. If you haven't done already try using a cloth or men's white socks to apply the stain. It gives a smoother finish. Double glove if you use the sock otherwise you will need paint thinner to clean your fingers!! Good luck

No, but I only use it when I have bathed, shaved my legs, and plan to go out in an hour or two. I do not go to bed with it damp. When it dries, I see no stain. It does have tendency to wash over with heavy duty scrubbing the next day...but who cares? It's like brushing your teeth, it's a do-over. Love it.
