Which kind of wood is similar in colour than chestnut ?

I have a tv unit in chestnut and would like to buy another piece of furniture that will look similar in colour than the chestnut. Which types of furniture wood looks similar?

You have a great piece of furniture if the wood is chestnut, and not just the color "chestnut". Chestnut is really a durable wood. The easiest wood I like to work with is oak. You can buy an unfinished piece of furniture and stain it to look like the color you want. Pine is also easy to stain but tends to be a bit lighter in color overall. Oak also tends to have a similar wood grain like chestnut, but pine doesn't. I've stained many pieces of wood, and I tend to lean towards oak every time. Not only because of it wood grain, and easy stain absorbtion, but also for its durability.





Hope this helps you some.
