Prefinishing Disclosure Statement
Lake States Lumber works very hard trying to assure our colors are consistent each time.
NOTE: Since no two trees are identical, wood can be expected to differ both in color and in graining. These factors will influence the stains final color. Product samples and representations online are meant to provide a representation of the finish you can expect, but does not reflect every variation possible.
Request an actual color sample on the correct wood species before placing your order, this will help minimize any misunderstandings. Once a custom prefinish order is placed, it is not returnable.
