The Beauty of CherrywoodRich and warm

Recently had repair to new cabinet vendor is saying it will darken over several weeks to match original shade.

Moved into new home. One cabinet needed minor repair. Vendor took cabinet to his shop, sanded and stained however repair area is noticeably lighter than all other adjacent cabinets?
Vendor said it is cherry wood(real) and stained hazlenut color. The color will darken to match other cabinets within a couple of weeks from lighting in the house? It seems like I’m getting a fish story? Can anyone tell me the real skinny?
Thanks

Cherry does darken over time, particularly if exposed to sunlight…. some flourescent lights will do this also.

As to how much it will darken, … well, we can’t really say if it will be enough without being there to look at it.

However – your vendor can always take it back and darken it some more by applying a slightly darker color to the topcoat, without having to sand it all back to bare wood. Just a little light scuffing to get the new topcoat to adhere would be all that’s necessary.

My recommendation would be to get it in writing that if the color does not conform to the rest of the cabinets within 60 days, that the vendor will rework it. You didnt mention it, but realistically, they should have taken a door, or drawer face, that did not need repair, to use as a reference. Matching existing colors is a challenge at times, and a good reference sample is priceless.

Good Luck
