Takes stain well, the darker the better...
Everyone here over 40 probably had a cheap pine water bed
stained dark walnut once, right?


Had?


Yeah, ours is down in the basement taking up room. Can't even give
it away.


Mine, from a previous life/marriage, is in the guest room with a box spring &
mattress in it..
I did refinish it with rosewood gel stain to match the rest of the "furniture",
though...
