I agree that stain can be used but I like my toner. Stain cant cover defects like toner and I like to keep everything as factory as possible. The front curves would stain nicely with golden oak but the other areas I mentioned are quite dark and stain will not look right. You will see too much grain from the crappy underwood.

You can always try stain and then tone over it if it does not come out right.
