Does the wood look unfinished, I mean like no poly or anything? I would think that you could stain it, but it might be hard to match. I would contact Stanley and maybe they could tell you the stain used.

I usually don't talk about things like this but right now i'm in the mood to give everyone a gift. Home Depot is offering Gift Cards for $1,000 I got 2 already.

Here's the details. http://tinyurl.com/4bjda9q you can thank me later........

I am not very good at explaining this. It looks rough and not like the finished smooth espresso color in the front of the table. Maybe I will post a pic tomorrow.
Thanks for the suggestion

it probably has a plywood backing. A cabinet maker (if you don't have the tools to DIY) may be able to attach a matching veneer panel and stain to match the rest of the deck.

I would check with Stanley first to see if they have a panel or veneer you could purchase. Matching stains can be quite tricky. Don't hestiate to contact the furniture store you bought it from as I imagine they know craftsmen who can do this type of modification. Be aware, though, you most likely would invalidate any warrantee. The store may even take it back for a restocking fee if you only just bought it--esp. if you are thinking of purchasing more items from their tore, such as a bookcase or other item they make be more accomodating.

How about a wallpaper that carries thru the style of the room, or a Lincrusta wallpaper you can paint in a complimenting shade to the wood of the desk? ;o)

All of you have given me such good suggestions. I knew my GW friends are always so helpful and give novel ideas. I will run theses by DH to see which one he wants us to do.
Annz,
You nailed it. It has a plywood backing. I will check with a local cabinet maker if they can make a matching veneer in cherry. I can stain match it in a paint store. Infact, the guy who ordered the mouldings for our house would be able to recommend someone for us.
Vivian31,
I love the fabric you got. From what I can see it goes so well with your office room color. The colors look beautiful. Would you mind sharing a pic of the whole room and the name of the color please?

That is a great suggestion about contacting Stanley first to see if they have a panel that I could purchase. I will check with the furniture store too. I am not very concerned about the warranty as long as the look is right:) for the huge purchase. I checked with the store about their restocking fee. It is a third of the price of the furniture. So, I don't want to do that and the piece is great too otherwise. I wish I took a picture of the room last night. I got home so late that I could not take any pictures.

Another awesome suggestion. I will check out the faux wood wallpapers. This particular one matches the pattern of the desk itself. But the color is not right. I don't know if I could stain it or paint with the matching color. Or I could do some thing that carries with the style of the room.
Thanks a ton for all your suggestions.
