Does the side panels when stained, come out the same color as the cabinet front?

NO unfinished it looked white washed. After 2 coats of golden oak stain it was a lot lighter than the unf. cab.Good thing that side does not show much

Thanks for your question. The Unfinished cabinets would require the end panels if you are finishing the sides. These panels would take the stain or paint the same as the cabinet fronts. Thanks ~ Sherri
