Ana painted hers.  I went with walnut Minwax Wood Finishing cloths.  I recommend staining the wood after you make your cuts and drill your pocket holes.  I did that for the top five pieces, but had already assemebled the rest of the table before deciding to stain.  I get a much better look with the finishing wipes when I don’t have to deal with corners and joints.  I end up with blotches, streaks and/or crevices I can’t get to at the joints.  I love that these wipes stain and seal all at once!  Work smarter – not harder, right?
