The table arrived in great shape and was easy to assemble.  Very sturdy.  The shape and size are perfect. My only problem is the color.   The color of the metal is silver, like my stainless steel appliances. The picture makes the metal look more muted than it is.  The wood is not as muted as in the picture either.  Has anyone tried staining the wood and what did you use?   Is there a sealant on the table and if so what is it?
