One wood stain I really like is red oak. I have a DVD sleving thing I made and the wood is red oak, and the stain is red oak. The way the grain areas sucks all the stain in and turn dark, then the surface wood is a nice deep reddish color.
Looks great with just the typical stain/finish in a can.(I did like five coats on the shelving. The final gloss just from the Minwax stain... is great. The surface is smooth and shiny, yet the grain areas are dark looking and dull. COOL. ((I never even sanded the wood.. It turned out wonderful.))
So I maybe would get the unfinished rails and do them in red oak.
If I did I might get the silvery/grey cloth color. (which looks stunning with the Cherry trim.)
If I do not do the rail staining thing.. i will go for same as my 3.6 which is light oak with white cloth.
The black color cloth is dramatic, but my apartment is dark enough without some big BLACK things in the room.
