Maple is a milky white hardwood, sometimes with a reddish tint. It is one of the hardest woods and is often chosen for durable items such as hotel dressing tables and hotel kitchen cabinets.

Disadvantages:. If the maple is not properly sealed, the stain may appear spotted.

Disadvantages: Expensive. Sometimes the color becomes darker with age.

Disadvantages: The stains can overly darken and exaggerate the grain, so it may end up looking two-colored.
