faq (frequently asked questions)


Can I stain/finish Real Simple Furniture myself?
Yes. It is extremely easy to finish Real Simple Furniture yourself if you have purchased the unfinished option of our product(s). Unlike most unfinished furniture which is pre-assembled, our furniture comes in individual parts that can be finished prior to assembly allowing for even distribution of color and no excess stain in the corners and or joints. ONLY water-based stains, in no more than 3 (three) layers, are recommended to ensure the product easily slips together during assembly. Multi-color effects can be achieved by mixing colors within the product for a two-tone effect (perfect for kid's rooms). It is recommended that the back of the lock-key or the underside of a shelf or top be used for sampling color prior to applying stain in more visible areas.
