The good thing is you used laquer so you can go back and use either Mohawk or Deft shading laquer if something looks a little too light, something you may want to consider around the top edge and the other cheap wood parts that don't want to accept stain. That faux graining near the grille can be replaced with 3M Dynoc or by painting but looks fine darkend up. If you had used polyurethane (YUCK!) on the cabinet you couldn't do anthing to it other then paint it or strip it.
Regards
