Ordered two pieces in cherry wood. Had color samples on cherry sent to me. Chose coffee as it was a close approximation to another cherry piece I have. The coffee stain sample still allowed the beauty of the cherry to show. Received pieces. Much darker and veins of wood barely visible. Amish Outlet sent me a new coffee color chip to compare. Amish Outlet response's "The stain is darker, but is a good representation of 226 Coffee". If I had wanted a darker stain, tobacco or espresso, for instance, I would have chose that color and probably would have chosen a less expensive wood species
