Hey OP, I am willing to bet you don't really care if the legs have a nice woodgrain. Sanding, staining and sealing is a huge PITA and if this is your first time, and you don't have great tools and workspaces, it's not gonna turn out great.

May I make the simplest cheapest, and nicest-looking suggestion of all?

Satin-black spray paint.

$9 and about 5 minutes. All done. Get back to sitting in that chair and stop fiddling with it.

You would want to do some sanding first or the paint will come off like nothing. Also a clear coat after would help with durability which is needed for the location of the feet. They will get kicked a lot.

Or even better, a nice deep red semi glosse spray paint...
