I'm having problems with something boring holes in my pumpkins. What to do?

Yes, it could be granite or marble. There is no health hazard, aside from the aches and pains that sleeping on the floor will cause. Get a king sized bed or two twins joined by a king headboard to encourage your wife to sleep more comfortably. Or, attend to that halitosis and BO issue that drives her out.

Many woods do not take dark stains well. The only way to truly get dark cabinets with no hint of the natural grain is to paint them. Or choose a wood with more of an open grain that stains more evenly such as cherry or oak. What you are terming "blotches" is the natural grain of the wood and is not a defect at all. There are some areas that look as though the topcoat was misapplied and those should be corrected. When compared with typical "custom" cabinets that aren't factory finished, your cabinets are 95% fine, and you are just in that stage where you notice every little natural variation and hyper fixate on it.
