are the stripes (difference in wood grains) on the doors as vivid as the picture? or are they more muted in person?

My doors are much more muted. I was going to treat my wood, but it is beautiful like it is.

It will vary. On mine you clearly see the three planks on one door but the other door looks more even.

Mine seem more muted, much lighter all around but the color did deepen a little after I used Mineral oil on the top and lemon oil on the base.

My walls have a very light texture. The RoomMates stick but you see the bumps and lines from the texture. If it's a heavy texture it may look distorted IMO.

In the one we received, you could see the imitation wood grain, or striations as you put it, in the veneer over the MDF. We expected solid white, so returned it for this reason.

Hello, No the color is much darker than the picture. They are very solid though an easy to put together.

Well the doors are really what make it look nice. If you left them off you would see small holes inside drilled for shelf and hinges. And shelf wood is slightly fake looking.

They are pretty dark. I love them and think they look great in my house. But they may not be as antique looking as you're going for

No. It looks just like the photo, just the wood is maybe the tiniest bit darker than in the photo. It's very nice.

I bought the Home Styles Arts & Crafts Kitchen Pantry - Cottage Oak and it was a pretty close match. Make sure you look at the zoom view so you can see how the lacquer/stain blends with the natural wood grain - it is not a solid color considering the grain, there is some texture to the color. Besides that, the hue was pretty close to the picture. I like the cabinet and don't have anything bad to say about it.

They are cherry wood colored but a little lighter than what you would expect cherry wood to be.

The lighter color was more yellowish than I would have liked. If you had the right decor colors it would look great. It's just that we have a lot of natural wood; pine, cedar, hickory and the yellowish tint doesn't really go. Otherwise I'm real happy with them. They stay put, even when you vacuum over them. Hope this helps.

The one I got was a light wood color- like unfinished wood color. Hope that helps. Mind you- they are HEAVY- 39 lbs! VERY sturdy!

On my wall, it's a deep red, but not quite burgundy. It's on the darker side - definitely not "cherry". But my walls are painted a dark color, so that probably makes the difference between the color in the picture vs. what I see on my wall.

The color is very even/uniform. The image of the doors is the color of the top, so yes, it the top looking darker is an illusion.

They need staining. Be sure to use a sealant and finish with a fine steel wool. Good doors.

Doors are solid wood. Rest of cabinet veneer over particle board. Don't know veneer would guess some wood like birch or ash - little figure, smooth, no pores. It is a dense particle board and therefore it is heavy. I don't think you will find solid wood in this price range.

No, the picture is a good representation of the color of my sideboard. It's a rustic brown but just a warning its a top treatment so once you knick the surface it's a light cream wood underneath. I used a furniture marker to touch up blemishes.

Ours looks similar to the picture shown with a couple of exceptions. There is a little more variety to the shade of the green hue. It's slightly darker in some places. Also, I think it is actually prettier live in the garden than the online picture or my imagination envisioned. I hesitated at pulling the trigger on this somewhat expensive item. However, I was not in any way disappointed with the purchase. Final note: the bird bath is signed, presumably by the one who colored it. From this I take away two things. First, a pride in craftsmanship, second the possibility for some variety from one piece to the next. HTH Ours looks similar to the picture shown with a couple of exceptions.
