Please advise if this can be painted and does the bar go all the way thru or are there shelves behind the closed door in the pic

I don't know about painting it, but yes, there are shelves behind the right door. The bar is only on the left side.

There are shelves behind one door and the rod on the other. Sauder does not recommend that you paint their units. It does void the warranty.

It is not that light it is a darker oak and I dont think you could paint it but if you use a stripper maybe

It is finished with a light oil based stain. My guess is that you could paint it if you used some thing like Rustolium spray paint.

1) In only, 2) out only 3) closed completely 4) open completely I'm not thrilled with this door. There is no liner to cover up the bar inside of the door once you cut the hole so wood shows. It's rough, and over time it will probably darken and look crappy. Also, they did not send screws long enough to adequately attach it to the door. I had screws, so it worked out, but this is not the best door I've ever bought. If I were to do it over, I'd find another option. My cat passed away shortly after we got it, so not sure how it will hold up, but prior doors at other homes installed easier and lasted longer than I anticipate this one will. 1) In only, 2) out only 3) closed completely 4) open completely I'm not thrilled with this door.

It has a semi gloss finish to it. I think it would be fine to paint as long as it was either primed or slightly sanded. There are parts where some baskets have roughed up the shelves and those spots would easily be painted. This particular item has really held up great over the years and it will last a long time. Very well built. Good luck!

It's not made of the cheapie plywood or particle board. I don't think you could paint it; but the contact paper or similar could be used. They are really nice and sturdy.

It is unfinished and fairly well sanded. You would be able to paint it right out of the box before assembling.

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!

This won't take stain well. It can be lightly sanded and painted. I have a door that won't stay together so it will need to be glued. Otherwise, it is functional.

I considered doing the same thing. But instead, ended up keeping it inside, once I realized I had enough room. The paint seems to be a powder coating, so it's baked on. My concern would be for the wooden bar. If I had kept it outside, I would have sprayed all the metal parts with a waterproofer and kept it covered with a tarp.

It is stained the same color as the rest of the unit but is pressed material not wood. It doesn't look totally finished from the back but wouldn't look bad I would say. If you have someone handy, you could likely easily modify it to make it perfectly finished. We love love love our unit!

It is not painted or pretty on the backside...however, we have really enjoyed this piece. You'll want it backed next to a wall if you decide to get it.

I never painted mine, but I was told it could be painted. I would ask at a hardware store or call a professional painter.

Janet, you will really love this cabinet if you chose to buy it. Yes, the pull out shelf goes all the way down. Under this area there are two generous shelves. I store so much in it with all my sewing supplies and once closed it looks like a beautiful piece of furniture for any room. Any further questions feel free to ask me. Have a fantastic day, Nancy Ullrich

The directions on bottle say to "avoid painted surfaces." However I did a bit of overlapping on my job onto a painted surface and no harm seemed to be done. The stuff is painted on with a brush, so Iused an small artist type brush for close areas. I did the job last April and the door still looks like new. I suggest you try a small amount on to a painted surface you don't care much about to see for yourself.

The bar fits on the outside of the center frame that the door closes against. As long as you install it on the correct side of this frame (generally the outside of the room that the door leads to), you'll be fine. Just so you know, this means the gravity bar is visible from outside the room so you don't want to install it in an area you like to keep nice for visitors.

The color is very close. It would thinking painting would work if you sand the finish sufficiently before assembly.... Sounds like a lot of work though.
