Thanks all, the Sherman Williams idea makes sense.

I used to have a 2014 178 Rpod. I built a free standing floor cabinet out of popular. Used Minwax pre-stain and Minwax English Chestnut. Turned out pretty darn close to original.

Mike, we have a 2016 178 with woodwork colored a very muddy grey/brown. Impossible to match with commercial stains. I took a sample to Sherwin Williams and after a few days they produced a stain that is really close after 3-4 applications. Here is the formula - hope it helps.

Agree, I figured out it is faux not stained when I tried to use tape to secure a loose piece I had glued, it pulled the faux when removed.

A lot of the wood is solid wood, not glued up particle board, which makes for a lighter weight. I can't tell what kind of wood but I imagine it would really soak up any stain. Start light and work up.

You'll have to experiment. Most of the wood in the POD is not stained wood, but faux covered with vinyl.

Doing some interior woodworking. Anyone determined the stain color for R-Pods? Are they different? Mine appears to be close to Red Oak. I have a 2015 178.
