It is natural cedar. I bought 7 of them for a patio of a restaurant. Easy to assemble and hold up great

It's very slightly red stained, almost natural. The real look is like that of the last photo, with the pieces dismantled. It really doesn't seem it's going to endure the weather for long, si I opted to paint it with a transparent marine wood sealer, and then it looks as the one in the first photo with flowers.

It's stained and looks good the way it is. Natural cedar doesn't usually have this reddish color to it, almost like a pecan. Would be a good idea to spray a non-gloss sealer over it, however.

It is a light oak! Very pretty! No idea about staining but it is made of nice wood if that helps! I LOVE IT!!

It's compressed wood. I don't think it could be stained, but I'm not wood expert so you may need a second opinion.

It is cedar. I put a coat of weatherproof paint on it and it has held up very well so far'

The wood is natural color. I don't know what kind of wood it is because was not in the specification. Might be spruce, just guessing, but it looks good.

The smell is not stain it's the cedar wood. I think you can clear coat it if you put it outside.

Not sure if the lumber is treated but I am sure it could be stained. We use to move big pots around the yard.

I don't remember if the ad stated the type of wood. It's not very thick and it's not pressure-treated. I used a transparent deck stain on mine. It has been outside a year, and it still looks great.

No...it is cheap and easily split pine. Maybe with the right stain you can make it look like cedar, but if it is cedar, I never saw any like it before in my life, and I live in the cedar woods.

It is cedar. I put a clear sealer on my planters. They have been outside for almost a year and they look new.

It is natural. I wanted it darker for my project, and it took wood stain very well.

It's not yellow. It's white. I stained my using a dark, cherry-like oil based stain. It looks nice, but the parawood doesn't have nice graining like maple. All-in-all it's not a bad piece of furniture for the price.

It is unfinished/raw western cedar. I am going to let mine weather naturally until it gets slightly more gray. Then I intend to use a clear wood preservative such as Thompsons. Cedar does not require a finish but will last much longer if it is at least oiled.

The wood looks stained, but with a clear coat. The wood's original light color does not seem to have been altered or darkened.

It is not finished. Cedar does best when it "breathes" for about a year before being stained or painted. We live in Michigan, and are planning on storing it it our shed over the winter to keep it out of the harsh elements. We plan on staining it next summer. I've heard that cedar doesn't need to be finished, and will naturally turn into a grey patina over time, if left bare. You could probably check online for more information on cedar and how to care for it.

It is stained wood. I would not recommend it for rough weather conditions. The wood is soft and light.

Mine has been stained, and the result is definitely not pine looking to me. I wish it were. It looks closer to yellow than pine I am afraid. Perhaps if the staining were done differently you might have a different result, but as I had said in my review, this table was difficult to stain according the the fellow who did it. Each section (Leg, top, drawer face) seemed to "take up" the stain differently. Over the stain he put polyurethane. That may be what is causing the yellowish effect. There is no hint of grain I would like to see. His (and therefore my) recommendation was to buy this if your intention was to paint it. It would be a lovely little table to paint. (hint-hint).
