It could be stained but I don&rsquo;t think that is the look you are after. MDF has no grain pattern. It is a nice smooth surface so it&#8217;s a great beginning for a smooth painted finish. It looks a lot like brown kraft paper, so with stain it will look like a stained paper bag.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>All of the different woods in the regular offering are not stain colors, they are different types of wood, so you&#8217;ll want to select one of those to stain. Unless otherwise specified, all the wood shelves are finished with clear catalyzed lacquer, which is a high quality furniture finish with excellent scratch and chemical resistance. The lacquer will reject any other type of finish or stain, so be sure to select the unfinished option.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Our shelves require professional installation. The job requires tools and skills that are beyond most DIY&#8217;ers. Please refer to the installation guide video, and share it with your contractor as well so he can help you decide if these shelves will work for you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Subject: Stain Message: Hi, If I want to stain it myself do I pick the U-paint MDF and click the unfinished shelf button?
