Anyone with Shiloh Cabinets Silas stain on Maple?

8 years ago
Hi! We are in the process of choosing a stain for our cabinets. We are leaning towards Shiloh silas stain on maple. We brought a sample home and it appears to be more rustic looking than I thought. In certain lights I love it, and in others not so much. Has anyone used this stain for your cabinets? How do you like it? Does it appear gray to you? If you have any pictures to share that would be great. Thanks in advance

    They're pretty cabinets. I like that wall color too.

    Thank you for your response. The kitchen is beautiful and the color is exactly what I was hoping for. We finalized our cabinet order a few weeks ago and decided to go with the silas stain on maple with a graphite highlight. I hope it looks as nice as it does on Alder

    Just wondering if you liked the way your cabinets turned out with maple. I have a sample of it at home and wondering if it will look okay in a master bathroom.

    Any more pictures with this stain? I am considering it for my island and lower cabinets in my kitchen. Thinking of doing lighter color on the upper cabinets. I have a white quartz counter. Would love to see more pictures!

    We have maple painted white for our perimeter cabinets and maple stained espresso with a black glaze for our two islands. We went with this because the other dark stains were showing red highlights in our light. While the color looks good in our kitchen, I don't like the glaze on the cabinets. Cleaning them is difficult. Even with a damp cloth, they show streaks in certain light. And the finish on the cabinets themselves was not done well. We have the same thing on our bathroom vanity and the finish on it was poorly done as well. As for the white, it is easy to clean, but the paint finish on some of the cabinets had bubble spots. Shiloh was good about replacing them.

    Hi! I see this post has several new comments. We ended up going with the shiloh maple cabinets stained silas. We love them! Here's a picture after they were first installed. I'll follow up with some more pictures later for those who are interested.

    Looks so pretty in the picture! I saw this stain on cherry and it looked like it had purplish tones. Do you see more grey or purple in the colors?

    Just randomly came across this thread. We used Silas on maple with a black glaze when we redid our kitchen back in 2013. Here is a pic of our island....

    Are you a newbie to this? Staining maple on your own isn't easy and can tend to look blotchy. Cabinet manufacturers have all the state of the art equipment and finishes. Do your research on finishing maple.

    Crystal, the rest of our cabinets are white. We only did the island in the gray stain. I agree with The Kitchen Place. Maple is a very tough wood to stain. Are you planning to do it yourself?

    No no no. I’m building and the builder has subs for everything but ya know a sub painter may not know much about maple. Maybe they do. I’m taking samples to get stains from Sherwin Williams and I guess I will see how they come out.

    Would love to see more photos. Considering Sials on maple with graphite in Metro style cabinets. Love the sample I took home and there's a lot of other wood in my house and seems easier not to try and match it.

    Can you share a photo of your kitchen? We are also considering Silas on maple with graphite.
