I bought it from a local Ace Hardware store and I really liked it. The stain doesn't really give it a finish, just a color. Sometimes people Just stain a piece of wood and leave it at that. you may get someone to Look at yours to make sure it has no varnish or poly on it over the black stain. You can try just staining it to see how the stain soaks into the wood. If it doesn't, then there is a varnish finish to it. The easiest thing to do is to experiment on it on the back or somewhere not toko obvious with the stain. If you like it then do the whole thing. Hope this helps.
