It comes unfinished, with a nice light coloured wood.
It seems a good buy to me - am I wrong/right?

And, if I do get it, I'd like to keep it as a light finish, not dark as
in the pic, so what should I use to paint it - just plain, clear
exterior varnish?
Thanks

You could use an extra clear alkyd coach varnish, ideal on wood, copal
would be best but not polyurethane.
