Idk yet actually was gonna paint it but i just decided today to stain it instead so I guess back to menards to pic a color
 
Once I wrap my stand it's going to be black cherry.... so don't steal that color

So for mine the reason i went with a dark stain was because the trim in the living room is dark brown. But now i want to paint the trim white....and a white stand canopy looks soooo good.

You know more about wood work than me. I stained before i sanded down for a smooth finish. So my canopy looks rough. But i added the clear water proof lacquer afterwords.
If i could go back. Id paint it white. Seen some real nice white ones

They have cool trim patterns at home depot like designs too.

Yea staining sucks gotta start rough and finish fine then stain first coat will rasise the grain then use a finer sand paper or buffing screen the second coat will be smooth then I usually finish with another light sand and third coat

Your dog doesn't look impressed! Looks great to me though. God, there are so many things I'd do differently if I could start over. Have fun.

See I knew you were a thinker. That's what I'm talking about fuge on top and a room full of pillows so guests can lay and look at your tank like 5yr olds watching Saturday morning cartoons. Once the shed reads this watch out is all I'm saying.
