I ordered two of these tables for our living room. The table shape and legs are beautiful, however, I know it said they were unfinished and I figured I would need to stain them but these were rough. I had to sand them because they were so  jagged and rough in areas. I stained them and due to I guess different wood types being used to build them, the stain was taken up unevenly all over. I am going to do somewhat of a milk wash glaze on them so hopefully that will help them blend more. Also, each tabletop took the stain differently so one is way darker on top than the other. I wouldn’t mind dealing with all of that if they were cheaper but I paid almost $90 each for these. I wish they had them already stained. I would recommend painting instead of staining unless you are going to do a distressed or multiple application process.
