Best stain for vintage dresser?

Hi helpful people. I’m purchasing a cintage dresser, and plan on removing the paint t, and refinishing the wood. I’m not sure what wood it’s made out of, but want to finish it in a walnut colour. Was looking on the Bunnings website, and it seems the options are Cabots, Sikkens, Timber Protect, or Feast & Watsons. I plan on putting poly on top to give it a durable surface. Any advice on which stain brand is best? I’ll prob use a timber primer first to ensure I get a good even stain finish. Here’s a picture of the dresser - as I said, no idea what wood is beneath it. Thanks!!
