So I already have a white melamine rack (Peter Williams design)..and i don't really like the "White Look"...I'm really looking for the Black look to match everything else in the reptile room, However i've been to 3 local hardware stores and no one carries the black melamine!!!....I like working with wood, so is there anyone who has built there rack out of wood, if so what kind of PAINT/STAINS/POLYURETHANE etc is safe to use?

Any comments or views will be greatly appreciated.
