Bad stain job on soft maple cabinets
Comments (2)Not all woods are prone to blotching. Not all stains are prone to blotching. Not all pre-conditioners work (especially when used as directed). The problem is, that blotching is one of the few finishing defects that you can't easily correct by stripping and re-doing the finish. It sounds like whoever did the finishing messed up. I'd go back to them for correction. First rule of finishing: "Test the entire finish schedule on scrap before committing to your project."...See MoreLight stained maple vs. painted maple cabinets

Comments (16)We have maple painted white for our perimeter cabinets and maple stained espresso with a black glaze for our two islands.

Cleaning them is difficult. Even with a damp cloth, they show streaks in certain light. And the finish on the cabinets themselves was not done well. We have the same thing on our bathroom vanity and the finish on it was poorly done as well. As for the white, it is easy to clean, but the paint finish on some of the cabinets had bubble spots. Shiloh was good about replacing them....See MoreLynne
