Can Ikea solid oak worktops be stained?
Hi
We're planning our new kitchen at the moment and would like to use either the oak Numerar or the oak Personlig however would like it a littel darker. Is it possible to stain the worktops?
Hope you can help
Thanks
David and charlotte

Re: Can Ikea solid oak worktops be stained?
Hello David and Charlotte, and welcome to IKEAfans!

This is a popular question. There are some people trying different things right now. The issue is usually finding a stain and finish that will be food safe. Here are a couple threads that may help:
coloring wood countertops safely
Numerar countertop -> regrets?

I'm not familiar with the oak Personlig, is that an IKEA product?
