I want to get a dark wood or black/brown color. Is it easier to stain or paint? If i paint it, what is the best finish to use?

I would stain it if I were you,then put clear coat over top. If you paint you will have to keep it up when it becomes chipped etc.

I would use a stain. If your table is going to get alot of use, it could chip. If you choose to paint it.. it depends on how youwant it to look, personally, I would want a matt look.....but if a glossy finish goes better woth your decor, then go for that

i would stain! wood should not b a color, leave them natural. the stain will protect the wood, it will make it a lil darker but will still look natural!

Stain as it won't chip down the line with time and you can restore color faster and easier.
