Additional Comments and Advice: It’s not if the wood will change color, it’s when. Always plan on stain wood finishes to change a tones . That’s okay it part of it’s beauty. It’s an organic product that can change over time. That’s personally why I like working with a lot of natural products. And also remember, this stuff is heavy and with any floating furniture always plan on an additional 300 lbs when putting in support.
