I a, installing a new 32" flat screen to replace the old tube TV. Does anyone know the type of wood that WRV used in the cabinetry? The stain appears to be a cherry and I thought that the wood was maple, but when we tried a sample piece, it was obvious that the wood was not maple. My next guess is cyprus.

You can take a piece of the old cabinet to a hardwood store or cabinet shop and they can identify it for you. As for the stain, you can also take that old piece of cabinet to a good paint store and they can match it for you. Then just test it on a scrap of the new wood. I just finished my 32" TV install and finished mine with 3 coats of polyurethane and it came out fine. Good Luck

On the inside cover of your outside water heater vent there should be a label with the wood type printed on it.

D&K:

Mine is Ash. It even says so inside the TV cabinet (when TV is removed). Also the brochure says Ash with choice of stain color.
