The finish is from General Finishes and is a water based polyurethane. It adds a slight amber look to the color of the wood. All the colors of the wood are natural, and there is no stain on any part of the cabinet. Any color difference you see in the pictures is due to room lighting and camera flash, or lack of a flash.
