Is this table in the natural maple 'stain' (as in the photo) or one of the other 17 options I saw on the EL website?

Ours is a natural maple stain or maybe just a clear coat. It's a very nice table and we are pleasantly surprised on the high quality.

I compared the color of my console to the Minwax stain color chart (I'm not well versed in wood colors) and it most resembles the Colonial Maple. It's a nice piece of furniture by the way. Very attractive and sturdy.

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 know it comes in different colors oak, ash & fruitwood so whatever it says is probably correct. If you have a place to store the leaves Wayfairsupply.com has an expandable dining table in oak from the same manufacturer at a very good price incl. free shipping.

It looks like a pale maple on the top, but I'm not sure about the legs. The top is made of many narrow boards joined. The joins are smooth and, even with several coats of stain and poly with only light sanding before and between each coat, the finish stayed smooth and even. I would buy this table again. As I mentioned in my review, I painted the legs and stained the top a dark walnut - all of it Minwax.

The is made of real wood. The color is not a dark cherry, more like med cherry with red in it. Really beautiful table, bit too large for my space.

I got the walnut. It was not stained- but the wood is a lovely warm color. It is very nice. I would recommend it.

I have seen the table listed by itself both here on Amazon and on Wayfair. However it was the White wood version--only the top is stained oak the rest is painted white (the wood is actually rubbertree, not oak) and was listed at $475. I bought the set with the chairs because it was cheaper. I never unboxed the chairs, I put them away in storage.

the wood 'strips' are oriented the long way so most of the grain pattern runs that way. However, some of the strips especially the shorter ones have different grain orientations. Overall, I think this enhances the look.Yes, you can stain the top. We used a 'darkening stain' to give the maple a yellowish hue which matches are existing maple cabinets in our kitchen.

Yes - it is finished in a medium wood stain all around the table. This is a great table for the price!

I purchased this table a month or 2 ago and love it. (I've oiled it once.) The color is similar to my cherry cabinets, a warm reddish color and is lighter than the picture shown.

The table is not what I would call white although it is "whitish".I think it looks like driftwood.

This advertisement is only for the table itself which I purchased. It's some kind of wood. It looks really good in my apt- I've gotten a ton of compliments. Perfect height for 24inch chairs. Very easy to clean. It can nick easily, but most colored wood can. I just used a black sharpie on a corner I dinged this weekend and you can't even tell! I looked high and low for a table like this and would definitely say it's a great table, especially for the cost! Also- if you bought this chairs and didn't like the material (I bought other chairs that matched this and didnt like the fabric), all you need to do is go to JoAnns and get squares cut about 5 inches wider and use a staple gun and recover them! I spent $20 on new fabric for my chairs (again these aren't the same chairs but same idea)

Yes, the product description is a little confusing...I ordered the item wondering the same thing...It should probably read 'mahogany stained' since it comes that way. Whether you call it 'mahogany' or 'dark cherry', it is a very pretty color - not too orange in my opinion - and looks much the way it does in the photo. It is very sturdy and didn't seem difficult to assemble.

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.

Yes it is, I've done the saga and a few others that claimed to be stain ready, but this one is really bare wood when you get it. The maple is a veneer so I would be careful not to over saturate if using water based. Wouldn't want the top lifting off.

The table is solid wood, not venir. And there is a good clear coat over the stain. No water marks from wet glasses, or bowls, and we've been using the table for over 6 months now.
