Now my wife wants a couch; wood frame with cushions. We talked
about the wood. Apparently grain means nothing to her; she just
want it about as dark as the mahogany pieces.


If grain means nothing to her, than I would go with poplar and use
a dark paint NOT stain.


Use ebony and you can eliminate that step completely.


There goes "cheap".
