The color did not look at all like the color on the online photos. It was supposed to be a Gray Ash stain. Instead it looks like a heavy paint strokes thinned out blue gray paint. It also had a gaping deep knot hole that was patched with black putty -  ugly! Instead of going through the  headache of trying to return such a large product, I decided to lightly sand off the excess “stain” and apply a walnut stain to warm up the tones to look more like the online photo. I still need to fill up and stain the deep hole to balance out the look.
